BMW always makes great case of him, finally we will see what he's able to do all along the week-end.

His Friday pace is always among the top 2, and his times generally hold up pretty well over the course of the weekend, I can't wait to see what he can do in an actual race.

What a great opportunity for the young pole!! He's consistently performed well on all the tracks this season, very often he was faster than the current top drivers. But setting a good laptime and finishing a race with a good result are two totally different things, but I believe he'll do well.

Also have to take into account that he can run whatever fuel load he wants while pounding out those quick Friday laps, not to mention he could throw on brand new tires at the same time since his sets only have to last one day rather than the whole weekend.
