- See you tomorrow for qualifying day!
“We have been working a lot this previous week with the team, talking a lot, analysing every little thing we can improve. The team is doing a great job and we are finding improvements. I didn’t expect to come here and have the feeling that I had today, to feel so comfortable on the bike, which is fantastic. We’ll work on improving a couple of things for tomorrow, but we’ll definitely keep working in this direction!”
“It hasn’t been an easy day today, but I’m happy that we were able to turn the situation around at the end of Practice, securing a place in Q2 for tomorrow. Despite the crash, things went well this morning, finding a good feeling with the bike from the start, improving progressively. Practice was a bit more difficult, with a lot of yellow flags and some mistakes from my side, but we managed to do it. We’ll push tomorrow”
