After the belly laughs of the Hungarian Grand Prix, Nasir finally returns from his European escapade with more interviews in his goody bag! Motorsports Mondial is tipping the scales with three interesting conversations…F1 journalist Mark Hughes, up and rising young drivers Freddie Slater and Tukka Tapponen.
Let’s hear from the forgotten Ferrari boys
Charles
We turned it around today. We had a solid race, with the right tyre management and a good pace. A P4 is not the result we want of course and we know that we have lots of work ahead, however, we were in better form than expected.
It’s difficult to overtake on this track and we had to manage overheating, being just behind Lewis (Hamilton) on the last stint, which was tricky. We took all our opportunities today and it’s good to bring home these points for the team.
Carlos
A tough race for me. The start was not good and here in Hungary it’s quite crucial. That compromised the first two stints, having to overtake cars to get to P6, and from there onwards it was quite a solitary race. The last stint I could push a bit more after extending with the Hard tyre but overall, as we saw yesterday, we were lacking pace compared to the cars at the front this weekend.
Belgium is a completely different track and we have to think what approach we want to take there with the car to try to finish the first half of the season with a good team result.
Oh, the Memories…
