Will Stevens and Roberto Merhi enjoyed a second positive day of running in Bahrain today, which culminated in them qualifying in 18th and 19th places for tomorrow's 57 lap 2015 Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix.
Will Stevens: "The weekend has been pretty solid for us. The conditions have been a little up and down due to the changing wind and also the track has been pretty dusty due to heavy overnight winds. I think we worked pretty well over the past couple of days to manage the differences and by qualifying we had a pretty good balance. I think there was a little bit more in the car today as I made a small mistake in turn 12, but it feels good for the race so I'm excited to see how we fare tomorrow."
Roberto Merhi: "I'm a little disappointed with my lap as I made a mistake later at turn 4 and that stopped me improving on my second run. Otherwise, I think we can feel happy with the progress we've made through the weekend, especially as the track conditions have been evolving so much. The car is in a good place for tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to the race."
John Booth, Team Principal: "Another very smooth and straightforward day for us. Both drivers felt there was more to come from the car, as they both made small mistakes which lost a bit of time, so that is encouraging. Once again, we've enjoyed good reliability and this has been invaluable in helping us to keep pushing forward, one step at a time."
