“We couldn’t put in a better lap in qualifying today, but the feeling was still great, which is the most important thing looking into the race. We’ve been working hard to prepare ourselves because we know it will be a very tight race. We have the pace and the determination to give it our all tomorrow!”

Adrián Fernández

8th

“It’s been a difficult day. We had another crash this morning when it started raining during Free Practice 2, and then in qualifying we couldn’t get it right. I was finally improving on my last flying lap, but it was cancelled due to a yellow flag. We’ll keep working and do our best tomorrow”
