I think the experience will be quite different and more challenging, especially when it comes to energy management on this track. Due to the layout and the curves at high speed could be a tougher race, but it looks like it will be hotter than expected, so we’ll see.” “As a team, we can be satisfied with our performance in Austria – said Hadjar – we went into last week’s meeting with numerous updates, so it was a learning but ultimately positive weekend, which allowed us to score important points once again.

The temperatures will be lower and the track characteristics don’t suit our car perfectly, so we will have to be able to extract the maximum possible potential”.
