" Kimi was on the pace we expected straight away," said Alan Permane, Trackside Operations Engineer.

"Today's morning was spent doing setup work in particular with front and rear cambers. In the afternoon we ran very low fuel qualifying simulations with two new sets of tires followed by a 27-lap run starting with a full tank of fuel. Kimi’s pace improved from yesterday as we would expect and we completed several start, pit stop and clutch simulations," Permane added.
