Commenting on the session, Irfan said, “In FP1, I struggled a little bit with the suspension but in FP2, I did much better after enhancing the settings. The machine condition is quite good this time around, just like in Round 1. Nevertheless, I am still figuring out a better setup for the machine which I haven’t quite discovered yet. Definitely, I will do my best this round as well. There is no two-way about it. It is still hard work and I will push towards the top spot once again. I haven’t found my contender for the time being but, on my part, it is all about maintaining the momentum.”
