car data difficult drive feeling might morning nature plus practice progress quite shape side situation slightly slippery studying terms track true unbalanced usual
As usual, it is difficult to know after today's practice what the true situation is and we will find that out after studying the data in terms of qualifying and the race. On the plus side we made progress from the morning to the afternoon.

But I get the feeling we might be in slightly better shape than we have been recently.

I know you cannot buy success and I also know that Toyota does not become a winning team overnight by signing me. But I can promise that I will do all in my power. I will put all the experience of eight seasons in Formula One into this project in order to bring it to a successful end.
