There have been plenty of challenges for the team of late, with Lewis and George still trying to recover the form that brought three winners’ trophies and three further pieces of silverware back to Brackley before the summer break.
While last week’s P3 was not achieved on pure pace, there were signs that things were coming together in Baku.
“We were competitive in the second stint last week,” said George.
“It is so competitive at the front and a tenth or two can be the difference between a front row start and P6 or P7 on the grid.”
Lewis too has felt the rollercoaster of emotions with W15 this season in a tightly packed battle at the front of the grid.
“Some weekends we arrive and think we are going to be better than we are and then we think we are not going to be there and we end up winning a race,” said the seven-time world champion.
“It is like playing golf! It can be frustrating, but you still love it.
“You keep pushing because you are looking for that feeling, like we had at Silverstone and Spa.”
