Italian GP - Friday Free Practice
Michael said  “I  am  actually  happy  with  the  work  we did today. We had quite a full programme which worked out well. We did some tyre checks, we made  a few  set - up - changes trying  to  improve  our  performance,  and  we  can  be quite confident,   even  if  at  this  stage  of  the weekend  nobody knows  too much.  Compared to the test here last week, which went  quite  well  even  if  all  the  times   were  quite   close, Bridgestone have come up with even better  tyres.  They  are quite  consistent  which  is  obviously  very important.  At the start of the practice session it was a bit wet  on  some  spots of the track, but at the end the  grip  was  good. We hope to offer our tifosi a good  performance  here in Italy, because they  really  deserve  it.”
