GianPiero Lambiase: 'Both drivers happy with underlying balance'

GianPiero Lambiase, Head of Racing at Oracle Red Bull Racing, said after the first and second free practice sessions in Las Vegas: “Today was a difficult day in tricky conditions. As ever at this track, and in these conditions, getting the tyres into their correct operating window proves to be a challenge, but it is one that we need to get on top of as this is where the bulk of the lap time gains will be found.”

“On a positive note, both drivers have been happy with the underlying balance of the car all day, so we don't expect to be turning things upside down this evening. Looking ahead to Sunday, there haven't been any meaningful long run simulations in either session, so both strategy and overall relative competitiveness are unknowns at this stage for everyone.”
