  • The most important day of the weekend awaits!
This morning was crazy, the track was very very wet. In the afternoon it was way better. Today we’ve had a little bit of luck with other riders’ times being cancelled. Anyway, we did a good job and I’m very satisfied. I think I’m one of the strongest here in dry conditions, so I hope it doesn’t rain tomorrow!”

We will start from 10th on the grid tomorrow. I know we could have achieved a better result today, but despite this, I’m still happy. The weekend is going well so far, I still feel competitive and the final word is not yet said. I’m looking forward to giving my best in the race”
