"The conditions were still quite hot in the late afternoon, as you'd expect here in Barcelona, so that added another element to consider. We'll go through the data overnight, understand where the opportunities are, and make sure we come back with a good plan for tomorrow and Sunday."

"The balance improved, the pace was there and, overall, the feeling was much better. There's still some fine-tuning to do ahead of tomorrow, but we're in a more positive window heading into the rest of the weekend.”

"There was a lot to learn and adapt to, but I was very happy with how the session went. We completed the full run plan, which was important for the team, and to finish the session with competitive pace was a nice bonus."

"I was pleased with my performance and, most importantly, able to give the team all the data they were looking for. A big thank you to Nico for trusting me with his car – I made sure to take good care of it – and also to Audi and Alpine for working together to make this opportunity possible."

"Every lap in a Formula One car is valuable experience, and I am grateful for the chance to continue building that experience. It has been a hugely enjoyable week, and I am already looking forward to getting back in the car in Austria.”
