The Milton Keynes stable not having spare parts available, it was at the wheel of a car without a front wing that Kvyat continued his work this Monday.

“It wasn’t ideal today. indicates the former resident of the stable Toro Rosso. Afterwards, we tried to enjoy the day, even though we had no spare parts. We maximized our time on track with what we had. I have another day to make up for it, so I'm just looking forward to Wednesday. »

“There were a lot of routine checks that had to be done, Explain Guillaume Rochelin, responsible for racing engineering. Systems checks that need to be done in the background all the time, so we were able to accomplish that work today. A replacement wing will arrive overnight. »

Kvyat did not set a time this Monday. Daniel Ricciardo will get back behind the wheel of the RB11 tomorrow in Spain.
