FR's Notes

Kamui Kobayashi:

C29.04 / Ferrari 056
Qualifying: 12th / 1:40.783 min (in Q2) ) / 3rd Practice: 14th / 1:42.566 min (16 laps)

“I missed Q3 by just a fraction of a second, and it was definitely a possibility for our car on this track. In general the car is much better than it was on Friday, and my lap was quite okay. But since we changed the brake material for free practice three, which is routine, I have had problems. The brake balance between front and rear isn’t right. This obviously results in a lack of confidence and makes it difficult to put three perfect sector times together. Nevertheless I’m very much looking forward to the race tomorrow, and I believe I can score points from where I am starting.”
