George Russell
Day two ran very smoothly and was a much more productive day for the team and me. We did some runs on the HyperSoft tyre, which was an incredible experience for me. I had never driven that tyre before, nor a Formula One car in anything other than a race setup. That was a great experience and it puts a smile on my face that we achieved the fastest lap ever around the #hungaroring. All in all, it’s been two productive and positive days and I can’t wait for the next opportunity to drive an #F1 car again.
Rich Lane, Engineer
We’ve had quite a good day today. After a tricky day yesterday, we managed to recover the #test and got through most of the programme that we had planned for the week. Today’s work focused on brakes and aerodynamics. We also worked on George’s performance and he did a very good job today as always. It’s been a positive end to the first half of the season and everyone is now looking forward to summer shutdown in a couple of days and then Spa.
