Alex Albon: "We're trying to find the middle ground with the car, and sometimes the car has felt good and other times there's a lot of work to do.

"We haven't quite found the balance yet, so it's been tricky out there. We'll use the rest of the weekend as an opportunity to come up with some ideas and look at where we can improve."

Carlos Sainz: "Missing FP1 is never ideal, but Luke did a good job during this mileage-limited weekend. It was a tricky FP2 with low temperatures and cold tyres, so it took a bit of time to get used to that. By the end of the session, I managed to get into a rhythm and did an okay lap on the soft and a decent long run. We are experimenting with setup and doing some correlation work which will help get us in a good position for next year. The weather could bring some opportunities tomorrow."

Luke Browning: "That is FP1 done and dusted here in Brazil. We had a shorter run plan today which limited our mileage but I'm looking forward to debriefing and taking the information gathered back to the team in Grove. That was my fourth and final FP1 session of the year, it's been great to get more experience in an F1 car, and to drive this challenging track for the first time. I'm looking forward to watching Alex and Carlos for the rest of the weekend and helping the team in any way that I can."
