"But yeah, it's kind of a trend in FP2 that we're never able to have a clean session.
"So, it's really pissing me off, but that's life, and I think [I just need to] stay calm and, yes, optimise the setup… that's it.
"It was not much easier [in FP2]. So, [for] some cars, yes, [for] some cars no.
"We struggle at least with front [grip] still. But at least towards the end, it started to get better and better. So at least some positives there," he concluded.
