Kieran Ryan reflected on the events of last week, an on the Austrian GP:

"I think we've mastered our racing mode so thats why I choose to concentrate on qualifying runs. The car was working really well, though towards the end of every lap I'd get a lack of grip around Brooklands which lost me time. Hopefully this is something I can perfect for when we come to Silverstone later on this year.

Honda keep pushing the envelope, with that the chance of blowing up will increase, but it's a risk we have to take if we want to compete with Ferrari and BMW. At the moment we're up there, 2nd now in the Constructors Championship but if we want to compete, especially at the A1 Ring or Italy, we need more power.

With Austria ahead we have a good chance of scoring more points. The secret to the track is all about getting in and out of the corners quick but our setup has to be adjusted for long straights and fast corners, it's a tough track but with another updated Honda unit, we'll do fine I'm sure".
