Sébastien Bourdais(STR2B-01)

“It’s my first time at this track and I have to say it is very interesting. Turn 8 isparticularly tricky as it is both quick and bumpy and these cars don’t like bumps verymuch! The car can step out on you quite quickly. Today, sometimes the car feltgood and at other times, it seemed to get away from me. The conditions were reallydifficult. I wouldn’t say it was a case of low grip, but rather that we struggled to takecare of the tyres and this made the car difficult to drive. But we got plenty of data, sowe have something to work on for tomorrow.”
