As Adrian Sutil notched up 32 laps in Singapore on Friday evening, team-mate Paul di Resta was rooted to the pit lane for most of the session – managing only a single run on the quicker, Super Soft tyres – due to a hydraulic brake problem at Force India.
“It wasn't the best of days because what I really needed was time on track to help me learn the circuit,” the Scotsman admitted. “The first session was cut short and in the second I had a hydraulic brake issue, which took most of the session to fix.
“So it means that I go into Saturday with limited running on the Soft tyres and just one timed lap on the Super Softs; it's not ideal because you need to build your confidence on a street circuit and find the limits because there is little margin for error.
“On the positive side, Adrian has shown that the car seems to be on the pace and I felt quite happy during the limited running I did do on the Soft tyres.”
