Japanese GP - Friday Free Practice
Michael  said  “The  morning  part  of  the  session  went well as  we  worked  on  our  usual  Friday  programme.   However, this  afternoon,  I  hardly  did  any laps, as my car developed a  problem  with  the  hydraulic  system.  We  will now have to analyse exactly what caused it, but I am not concerned about this  for  tomorrow’s  qualifying  session  as   I  am  sure   we will be  competitive,  even  if the gap between us and the non-Bridgestone teams seems a bit closer than usual.  The track is a  bit  slippery  at  the  moment,  but  that  is  normal  here  on the  first  day.”
