“In Qatar I didn't have the pace and in the Sprint I didn't attack Bagnaia and Martin on Sunday. Here, however, I had a good pace, I had some misunderstandings at turns 4 and 5 with Binder and Vinales, then at turn 6 Martin arrived a little wide, then when I saw that he was on the outside I closed the throttle, because otherwise one of the two would have ended up on the ground. We fought for our race, Martin was faster and deserved the victory. This weekend I took a risk, it's my last race with Honda and I want to thank those who have helped me throughout my career. Tomorrow we will try to do 100% even if it will be difficult starting ninth, we will need to understand where we will be on the first lap. Tomorrow the main target is the Top 5.”
