Lance Stroll says that he was disappointed to miss out on Friday practice, claiming he would have liked to gain more experience on a wet track.
Stroll is only one of two rookies on the grid this year (the other being race-by-race Sauber substitute Antonio Giovinazzi) and knows that he must learn the ins and outs of a wet track as soon as possible.
While the Circuit de Catalunya was artificially saturated during pre-season testing, the water did not stay on the track long and not much efficient data was collected. Stroll completed only 7 laps in the morning practice session and will be hoping for some laps before qualifying to get an understanding of his car.
"You can’t change the weather, it is what it is, and it was such a shame for the fans that they didn’t get to see us on track. It’s obviously not ideal, as for me it was the first time here and the first time in a Formula One car in the wet, so I would have liked to have run a bit more today.
"The conditions were not fully wet, so I was on intermediates and, as the track was drying, it was even becoming a bit too dry for them. I only did seven laps, so there is still a lot to do. I hope there are a lot more laps to do before qualifying, as I have a lot more to learn. I am now just going to focus on tomorrow and make the best of it."
