JV 📻
To Alex:
Well done, Alex. That’s all that was in the car today, really well defended against the Astons in really difficult conditions. We’ll look to find a few more tenths this afternoon.
To Carlos:
Thanks for doing the work, Carlos. We’ve got to find a few tenths for you here and we’ll come back stronger this afternoon. Thank you.

ALEX to PIT:
I didn't really expect it to front lock there.
JV to ALEX:
Alex, it’s a good lap. Getting us through to Q2 with this car is well done. Getting a lot out of it. There was traffic in sector 2 for you.

The tyres actually felt better for that second push. I’ll take a look later.
