“It was a very difficult race, I started badly and in the first lap I lost a lot of positions. I had a lot of problems when braking, I couldn't brake as I wanted, only when I managed to overtake Miller did my times improve. The weekend had gone well, but the race was very complicated. I don't think the choice of the soft rear tire was wrong, I struggled with the front instead, but everyone had chosen the medium, like us. We have to stay calm and work well with Valencia."
