Magnussen: “No problem just lack of speed”

It couldn't have gone any worse Renault. In the first qualifications in Azerbaijan the Enstone-Viry team in fact monopolized the last row, thus doing worse than Manor, who were in different form according to their possibilities.

“I didn't have any particular problems, I just lacked speed. Already in FP3 we realized that we didn't have the pace, so we revised the set-up but it wasn't enough - the clear analysis of Kevin Magnussen, 16th and 21st – We knew that we would have to face difficult moments this season, so the important thing is not to get discouraged and keep working.”

“We have enormous potential, but today it has not emerged – he stated Jolyon Palmer, 18th and 22nd – In the second run I was doing very well, however the yellow flags forced me to abort both attempts. I later made a mistake that cost me half a second. Without a slipstream on the starting straight it was impossible to advance. We will have to recover in the race."
