“That’s a real step forward there already, so hopefully we can keep that going. I don’t know. We’re on a good trend, I think. So hopefully we can just keep that going.”
There are still areas where Magnussen feels that the team can improve, with the Danish driver adding: “I think we’re still not consistent enough, but from last year, we improved consistency.
“Last year, especially in qualifying, we were able to be good, but every time on Sunday, we’d just fall to pieces. And I think we’ve changed that situation so that it’s actually almost the opposite now – we look better in the race than we do in qualifying often.
“Certainly on Sunday, we’re a lot more consistent. But again, with the field so tight together, it only takes a small little mishap and you’re qualifying far off your optimal position, and that’s been a big driver to the inconsistency this year, I think.”
