It's been an okay day for us in Monaco, back in Europe and back to the normal Grand Prix schedule with two Friday Practice sessions. It's always a special place to drive, especially as Monaco is where I live now. I would say we have a bit to work on after today and certainly we need to find a step up in performance. It's such a specific and unique place compared to a lot of other circuits, so I think it will be about fine tuning a few things rather than changing anything too big. The car generally feels fine and it's fun to drive still with these cars now a little smaller and lighter. We have less power unit management here with energy recovery and deployment so really it's about finding a more comfortable set-up and focusing on executing solid laps. We normally make a good step between Friday to Saturday so our aim is to be better tomorrow ahead of Qualifying.

It’s been a positive day overall and the car felt quite good right from the first laps. The team did a solid job with the changes we made between the two sessions and we were able to work through our programme without any major issues. Monaco is always a very different challenge, with the bumps and the close proximity of the barriers, so it’s not easy to find the right balance and put everything together. There is still performance to be found and tonight we’ll focus on the details, because the margins are very small here and there’s plenty of work to do ahead of qualifying.

It was a tricky day, with some work ahead of us, in particular in terms of brake balance, but I love this track and it’s good to be back racing here.
It’s going to be very tight in qualifying tomorrow, so I hope that we can take a step forward and fight for pole position.

It’s a pretty special moment to drive a Formula 1 car around this track for the first time, and I definitely took a few moments this morning to soak it all in. It’s been a decent day, but also a really intense one. Probably one of the busiest Fridays of my F1 career so far because of the nature of the circuit, there aren’t many straights, so you’re constantly driving and there’s not much time back in the garage. But it’s been a lot of fun. There are still a few things for us to work on overnight across all areas of the car, but we know what we need to do. We’re heading in the right direction, and hopefully we can put everything together for tomorrow.

It was quite a decent Friday for us. That said, everyone will be working hard overnight to find improvements, so we need to make sure we analyse everything from today and put the best package on track tomorrow. Qualifying is obviously very important here, but there's still plenty to get right across the weekend. The focus now is on staying calm, doing our homework and making sure we're ready to maximise our opportunities tomorrow.

It was a decent day overall. Despite a few hiccups at the beginning of FP1, we managed to get the car into the top ten, which is quite encouraging. FP2 felt smooth and clean, and I was able to consistently improve throughout the session. It took a little time to put together a strong lap with the traffic out there, but I'm happy with what we managed in the end. We learned more about our balance and where our limitations are, which gives us a good direction for tomorrow. There's still plenty we can improve, and we'll be working hard tonight to find those extra gains.

It's good to be back in Monaco and it's always a pleasure to drive here. This year, with slightly smaller and lighter cars compared to previous seasons, it's definitely a different feeling and it's certainly still an enjoyable place to drive a Formula One car. We completed lots of laps today and it's always important for a smooth and consistent day in Monaco without too much interruption. A lot of our work in Practice in Monaco is focused on low fuel and Qualifying preparation. We were there or thereabouts inside the top ten for most of the day, so clearly we are in the mix for the points-scoring positions. We probably aren't as competitive here compared to some other tracks and there's definitely a few bits for us to work on as it's not been totally straightforward. We have a lot of work to do going through the data before another Practice session tomorrow as we aim to be as dialled in as possible ahead of the most important Qualifying session of the season.

It was a difficult day for us in Monaco. We are struggling for front grip and have heavy understeer on the car. It's very inconsistent and not easy to drive. Hopefully we can do some setup changes and improve the situation tonight. My seat is feeling more comfortable and it seems we have improved this.

I’m quite happy with the progress we’ve made today in Monaco, as we know how important this weekend is. FP1 was challenging, but in FP2 we made a step forward, and I’m quite happy with the balance that we had. We still have a lot of work to do overnight, but with a bit of finetuning, I think we can move up some places and that’s the target for tomorrow, as we know the most important part of this weekend is qualifying.

Today was practice, but we know it’s tomorrow that matters. Today was about figuring out the limitations of the car, and we have some good data now, so it’s up to us to improve the car. Tomorrow morning is when we’ll start getting closer to the wall, pushing harder, and finding out where we are.

Tricky day. We're clearly off the pace and need to find time all across the lap. Frustrating to lose track time today, as that's always important here in Monaco. The car simply turned off, so we need to investigate what happened there. We'll work hard overnight to try and get more performance out of the car, but realistically it's going to be difficult to compete at the front of the field this weekend based on where we are compared to the competition. It’s not necessarily a surprise, but it’s not where we want to be, so we’ll work hard to understand what we’re missing and try to recover where we can for tomorrow.

Today was certainly a tough day for the team. We're not where we want to be, and the gap to the front is larger than we had hoped for. We made some small steps forward between the first and second practice sessions, but we're still a second off the pace, which shows how much work we have to do. We need to go through the data and find some answers overnight because, as it stands, we are simply not quick enough. There's no single solution that will turn things around completely, but we will explore every option available to find performance and be in a more competitive position for the rest of the weekend.

It was not the most straightforward Friday of the season. I struggled with the car, particularly in the middle sector and that was limiting our pace. We tried a lot of different set-up options and have gathered a lot of good data. That will help us evaluate what work to do overnight and what changes to make for FP3 and Qualifying.

Ferrari look to be in a very strong position. We know they are typically good in Monaco, and they certainly seem to be favourites for tomorrow. We know there is more time for us to find though given we didn’t get the car in its perfect sweet spot yet, so hopefully we can take a step forward and be in the mix tomorrow.

We saw good improvements from FP1 to FP2 but if we want to be in the fight for pole and victory, we will have to take a similar step forward overnight. It is certainly shaping up to be the most challenging weekend of our season so far and tougher than we had hoped. Heading into today, we expected Ferrari to be at the front as they’ve typically been strong here. Its cars historically, particularly on the mechanical side, seem to suit these types of tracks. That is how today played out but it was surprising to see Red Bull so competitive too. We’ve got work to do to get in the mix; we have some ideas on where we can improve though, and we know there is more lap time to unlock. If we execute perfectly and commit 100%, then hopefully we can get there.

The first session was going okay. I felt like I was gaining confidence with each lap, so the crash caught me off guard. It’s not something you see often around here. The Team did a very good job getting me back out there for FP2, it was impressive, so a big thank you to them. The plan from there was to build my confidence back up, and toward the end I had a much better feeling in the car. I want to carry that into tomorrow.

It was quite a positive day to be honest. We felt quite good in the car and it is particularly important, especially around Monaco, to have a positive feeling in the car. We just need to work to fine tune a few things. Ferrari are looking really strong so we will try to be as close as we can to them tomorrow. We are happy where we are at the moment but we are always trying to extract more from the car, so let’s see what we can do tomorrow for Qualifying.

Not a bad Friday overall. There's obviously a lot of traffic around this circuit, especially with 22 cars, which makes it tricky to get a lap in clear air. The track is a bit bumpier than last year and I also felt like I was sliding around a lot, so the focus for tomorrow will be on getting the car into a good window. Across both free practice sessions, we were hovering around P11, so I am more optimistic heading into tomorrow. Monaco is obviously all about qualifying and one-lap pace - I think Q1 will be tricky with the traffic, but hopefully we can make the most out of it and put ourselves in a good starting position for the race.

Overall, it's been quite an intense Friday, with a lot of disruptions throughout the sessions with yellow and red flags and with 22 cars on track the traffic was tricky. Having said that, we managed to put together some solid laps and more or less cover our run plan. Right now, it looks like we’re just outside the top 10, so if we want to fight for Q3 tomorrow we need everything to be perfect and we need to make a good step overnight with car and tyre preparation.

Challenging day today. I was struggling quite a bit with the car setup, but that's what practice is for. We've just got to figure out the true corner balance, we also struggled a little bit with the ride of the car, but now we have the whole overnight. We’ll get the feedback from the simulator, and everyone is going to be working hard tonight to make improvements for tomorrow. Even though it's a tricky day, it's still great to be back on the streets of Monaco.

It was unfortunate we ended the second session as we did on track, but it’s also about finding the limits for the race on Sunday and it’s important that we got as much running as we did. It’s been a strong Friday for us and we were close – a few tenths would have changed our lives completely, so I hope we can find them when they matter. We are close to the cars in front and where we finish tomorrow will depend on how others perform, but anything can happen around here – we just need to be there when it matters and get the maximum out of the car tomorrow.
