“Tough race… Starting from last position wasn't easy, but we made a better start than yesterday. I recovered a few positions, and then I was behind Fabio for almost the entire race, until about 11 laps to go when I lost a few tenths compared to him. But then I saw that he started to struggle just like me, and I was able to catch him and overcome him. I feel good. This is certainly not the result we want, but this race was important for us because we gathered a lot of information. All the time we are on the track provides us with data that we analyze and try to understand. For tomorrow we have many components to test. So, let's go ahead and keep working!”
