What the teams said – Friday in Saudi Arabia

Both drivers started well in Jeddah, although Piastri did slightly brush the barriers – causing no damage to his car. Norris was the quicker of the two, the Australian making a mistake on his flying run on the softs. The second session saw much the same outcome, Norris the faster of the duo as Piastri again clipped the looming walls. If the Aussie can nail his lap, there will be nothing in it between the two team mates tomorrow.
