Spanish GP FP1 moments

Jules Bianchi, P1 – 1:26.630, 18th
“I was driving the same car we raced in Bahrain so that the team could run a back-to-back comparison with the new developments we have here. The session went well, I managed 21 laps on the hard compound tyre and the programme has given us a lot of data to analyse before qualifying.”

It was a really unlucky weekend for Jules. Starting from 5th he finished race 1 2nd, he was close to win the race but there was not enough time to pass the leader. However, unfortunately he was disqualified from the race due to some technical irregularity. Then on race 2 Jules stalled on the grid starting the formation lap so he had to start from the pit lane. Making things even worse he got a drive through penalty during the race because mechanics worked on his car after the signal on the grid. I think we should forget this weekend and move on.
