Gianni Morbidelli (fastest): “It was a good session, and I am happy with the car. It handles well, we can still improve something in terms of set-up in fast corners, but the balance is already good. The only issue is traffic, although we know this is a feature typical of Macau. But some of the drivers are really very, very slow. It’s a dangerous situation.”
Pepe Oriola (second fastest): “I’m happy with the session, except for the issues posed by some of the slower cars. It’s really tricky, some of the guys run almost 30 seconds slower… For the rest, I had a little contact at Lisboa with my teammate James Nash while we were towing each other, I think he got towed by the stream and could not brake when I was passing him. All the potential title contenders are very close and it’s going to be very interesting tomorrow. It’s still open and you can feel the pressure growing…”
Stefano Comini (third fastest): “I’m still not entirely happy with the set-up, we need to work more on that. We spent the session testing towing with Jean-Karl in view of tomorrow’s qualifying, given that the Golf has less top speed in the long straights. The real problem is the level of performance of some of the local entries. The difference is really excessive…”
