“I got off to a bad start because I had a few problems. Then I got into my rhythm, I was able to brake hard and overtake. After four or five laps I passed Marc but then I went out and he passed me again. I was running on 38.4/38.5 and therefore I think that lap after lap I could have done something better given that he started to start behind me in the right way. It's a shame, we didn't need the crash at turn two because I'm sure we could have had a good race, but we have to look at the positive side. We were competitive compared to the other days when we couldn't find the right balance. This morning we went strong, today we were proving it, we were confirming ourselves. There will be tests tomorrow, maybe we'll try some new solutions but I was happy with the bike and the work we did."
