Again, Monaco was another highlight earlier in the season.

But then at some point, we had too many issues with the brakes that we couldn't totally identify.

So he was struggling with that.

And then when he is not confident under braking, he just cannot push enough.

He cannot drive around it.

That's his driving style.

That's his mentality.

So certain races, we just couldn't get the performance out of the car, performance out of him.

Like Baku was the one bad example.

He really wasn't confident with brakes and we couldn't solve it and that meant he was so far off the pace.

But it's amazing.

Obviously driving a Formula car, being a Formula 1 driver is a very, very sensitive thing.

Like look at Abu Dhabi, great example.

Friday, he wasn't happy with his brakes again, completely off the pace, like half a second.

And then we changed few things overnight, but nothing that obviously indicates us to say like, oh, Friday, this was the problem.

Certain setup changes, certain, let's say, component changes.

Again, when we look at the data, nothing's night and day.

But for Esteban, FP3 was totally clear.

His feeling was great with the car.

He had no issues that he felt on Friday.
