Before getting out of the car, Hall asked Bottas:

""Did I scream less than normal?"

Ahead of the hot lap, she anticipated the effect of it on her performance at the Grand Slam Track, saying:

"I'm doing a hot lap tomorrow at F1 so let's see how that goes. One of the F1 drivers is I guess, gonna take me on a lap. I'm not sure exactly how fast we are going, but definitely close to 200." She added. "May be it will, like, stimulate the speed in my brain and I'll go faster."
