Although the times set during second practice for this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix were fairly meaningless, Charles Pic was nevertheless pleased to see his name on the top of the timesheets.
"Today we had big plans for testing those on the track, but the conditions have proved frustrating for everyone as there has been very little let-up in the rain", said the Frenchman. "This is not unusual for Spa though, so we have to look forward to what are expected to be two dry days remaining, when we should have a better chance to see the signs from our new components. On the positive side it is very nice to end the afternoon session in P1 on the timesheets. Unusual circumstances of course, but nice to see."
Pic's team-mate, Timo Glock, lamented the atrocious Belgian weather.
"It has been so wet today that we have been able to do very little in the way of meaningful running. We have some experience of the wet tyres and some data for our new parts, but that is about it"
