In the stateside sunshine, Fernando claimed a top-10 finish while Lance gained seven positions during the United States Grand Prix, finishing just outside of the points. Read on for full coverage of our weekend in Austin, and get the thoughts of our drivers.
Following the declaration of a heat hazard earlier this week, weather conditions were tricky at Circuit of the Americas, with temperatures higher than 30°C.
Our drivers opted for opposite strategies. From P10, Fernando began the 56-lap race on Medium tyres. Meanwhile, Lance started on the Soft compound from P19.
By the midpoint of the race, Lance was up to P12 after making a number of overtakes during the first half. Fernando was running inside the top ten and looking to claim points.
Lance made his pitstop at the end of Lap 28. He returned to the track on Medium tyres. Two laps later, Fernando came in for Softs.
When the chequered flag fell, Fernando and Lance secured P10 and P12 respectively, with a point added to our tally.
The double-header continues in Mexico City on 24-26 October. Check back here for full coverage.
