“We tried until the very end, but our strategy didn’t pay off today. I pushed hard in the early stages of the race, which affected tyre management and gradually made me lose feeling with the front end. We expected more today, but we’ll learn from this and, together with the team, come back stronger next time”

Adrián Fernández

9th

“It’s been a challenging weekend from the beginning, and the race was no different. I had already lost positions at the start, and the two Long Lap penalties made things even more difficult. We are not in our best moment right now, but I’m sure we’ll find a solution. I’ve been looking forward to Mugello since the start of the season because it’s a very important race weekend for me. We’ll keep working to improve, give our best, and try to achieve a better result there!”
