“Like I said yesterday, we need to understand which direction and which changes we need to do. The guys did an amazing job, we worked a lot to try to understand what we need. We made a good step in the warm up. The most positive part is that we were quite strong with the hard rear tyre. Some of them were with the soft one and I think it was bad for them because no one did a race distance with the soft and even they destroyed the tyre. That’s why we chose the hard one and finally it paid off. I was consistent although I need to find a bit more speed to fight in front but like I said had to came from really far. I made a good start and good first laps. We take this positive feeling for next year and also the test of next year in this circuit. Thanks to the team, I’m really looking forward to the next race in Valencia”.
