“Yesterday we struggled while today we worked well and managed to make a good step forward. I drive better even if we still lack a little something in terms of settings to be at 100%. We are in the right direction, perhaps I could have done more in Q1 by putting the H on straight away. I took to the track for the first time attack with the M to make better use of the grip, but the hard probably would have given me more stability. Let's look at the data, the choice of tire for tomorrow is already quite clear, so let's sort out the final details.”
