EVIAN (France) - Saturday, 27 June - Top ten times for Duarte Benavente and Yousef Al Rubayan with   both driver's very positive about the upgrades  to their boats and engines since Qatar.

Benavente: Good practice session, nice water, beautiful place and a lovely environment. The boat is running better and better all the time. I feel comfortable and we are trying very hard to close the gap to the top teams.

Since Qatar we made several modifications changes, tested a lot and I think we are heading in the right direction.

Al Rubayan: Practice was good but it is my first time in the boat since Qatar so I don't have the same feeling yet, but soon. The team is doing a great job, working well and have made some big upgrades. The boat is very different, the handling and balance is improved and we have more power.

I have a good understanding with my guys, they tell me what they have done, I ask them to make small adjustments and this immediately transfers to the performance on the water.
