What people are saying
I didn’t know what to expect
We’ve had a lot of Fridays this year where we’ve rolled out and we really struggled to get on top of the car and we’re kind of outside the 10 on a Friday in practice.
So when you see a qualifying session on the Friday, you know you need to roll out strong and thankfully the guys at Triple Eight did a great job at that.
Rolling into a Shootout tomorrow is going to be pretty full on, but looking forward to that.
