Red Bull Racing after 3rd day: "Not ideal"

Published on 01 March 2017 by Niels Hendrix

Commenting on Wednesday’s running, head of race engineering Guillaume Rocquelin said: “It’s obviously not ideal when you encounter the kind of issues we had today and on Monday, but that’s the nature of testing. This afternoon we had an exhaust issue that hampered progress and it meant another tricky day for Daniel. It’s unfortunate for him, as these issues manifested themselves on the days he was in the car, but he understands the nature of testing and he’s actually pretty upbeat about how the car feels and how it’s behaving."

"Ultimately it’s about what you learn from the laps you do get on the board rather than just running for the sake of it and so we’ve learned a lot so far. Tomorrow we’ll learn even more as the track will be artificially wet, so plenty of work still to do before we head back to the factory.”
