00:09:37 FP1 was wet. It was raining. It wasn't great. And normally when we have a wet FP1, we might see drivers holding back a little bit. Teams not wanting to risk it in the car out straight away in case it gets damaged. But considering we only had FP1 to figure out set ups and balance, we saw cars, very eager to go out. Maybe it wasn't that the drivers were eager, but they didn't really have a choice. They were going to have to go out and get the running done. We did get a red flag about halfway through though. Logan Sargeant just struggled to turn his car at one point and then went into a barrier. Wasn't a whole lot of damage, but wasn't able to then carry on. Looked like it could be a brake by wire issue. So not because of the rain or anything like that, but was a bit gutting for him.
