Henrique Chaves
«Today was a better day, we improved in the afternoon, we hadn’t the push of the second set, but we kept improving everytime I went on track. In the end we did what we wanted, race simulations and different set-ups. It’s such a shame this championship will not happen in next season, but I’m proud to have written my name as winner in the hall of fame here in Bahrain”.

Pedro Piquet
“The morning was good, we’re really on it, we worked well. In the afternoon it was strange, we struggled a bit on both new and used set, I improved in the end, anyway it was a nice day. I’ve learned a lot from this car is really fast and enjoyable to drive. Feeling was good as well, especially with carbon brakes. It’s a great car, I’m a bit tired, but I’m happy with that”.
