“It was a really positive day for the team. Yesterday I struggled a lot but we made a big improvement today so I want to thank the team because they did an amazing job to give me a bike that gave me so much confidence. Already this morning we were fast, we just missed Q2 but we did a good pace. We had to go through Q1 and I made an amazing lap time. The grip was good but Q2 was more difficult. Even with this we are P13, not far from the target that is the top 10 but of course we want more. We will study to improve more. Our pace is not bad so I’m happy about that. Let’s keep positive and let’s make a good race on Sunday”.
