"As an Aussie abroad, I'm proud to carry the ANZAC Rising Sun on my race car during testing today in Barcelona to pay tribute to those who sacrificed so much for our freedoms," he tweeted.<\/p>\n

"It was a bit of an up-and-down test which started quite down I would say, but we had a very successful last day," Piastri said.<\/p>\n

"We rectified some of the things that weren't as we wanted and our pace got very strong, so it was nice to end on a good note like that.<\/p>\n

"We tested quite a lot of things. Some worked, some didn't, but I'm happy that we found a good solution and we seem quick.<\/p>\n

"It's positive we made the most of this last chance we had to test for this season."<\/p>\n
