Ben receives gifts from some local children here in Issyk-Kul, Kyrgyzstan
Fantastic news! Getting through Technical Inspections ahead of schedule gives the team crucial breathing room to dial everything in before track action starts.
Running in both engines this afternoon will be vital, especially with the unique challenge Lake Issyk-Kul presents. Sitting at 1,607 meters (5,272 ft) above sea level, the altitude and thinner air means fuel-to-air ratios will need careful tuning compared to sea-level venues.
Here's to smooth engine runs this afternoon and a clean, fast set of Free Practice sessions tomorrow!
Best of luck to the entire team for the weekend ahead in Kyrgyzstan.
