To see such a sea of Orange out there on a Friday was I’m happy with our long run pace, but I couldn’t really get a decent short run in, so we’ll have some work to do before Quali tomorrow #KeepPushing #SuperFriday#DutchGP pic.twitter.com/HiCW16Z4BI

Wow what a circuit and what a crowd! Had to stop due to a loss of power. We will work through this and hope for a better day tomorrow. Thank you #teamlh for all the incredible support and also to the Dutch Orange fans for making the atmosphere electric today and for welcoming me. pic.twitter.com/ZdzgOmDIUJ

Zandvoort is impressive! Trying different lines around the banking corners was fun. The car felt good, but there is margin to improve and other teams were caught up by the flags. Still, a positive Friday and great to see so many fans!

Zandvoort looks awesome What a cool track. Proper old school. Flowing corners, high speed, unique kerbs and no asphalt run offs = no margins for errors. All the Dutch fans filling the grandstands makes it even better! #F1 #Zandvoort
