“Yesterday we had a lot of problems, but today we were able to solve most of them. Everything went better today, and the most important thing is that we were able to make a big step forward compared to yesterday. I’m happy with the feeling I had in qualifying and with the work we have done. Tomorrow we’ll have to make up positions for sure, but above all I’m looking forward to enjoying the race!”

“Today we took a big step forward! I’m very grateful to the team for the huge work they always do, and especially the one they did today. We were able to find the feeling, being comfortable on the bike and regaining the confidence that allowed me to give my best. We could have qualified in a better position, but I couldn’t improve on my last flying lap. I’m happy and eager for tomorrow’s race!”
