“We have managed to improve a lot from the tests to today and the feeling with the bike has gone in the right direction. I think, in any case, that I left more than a few tenths on the track and for this very reason I don't feel totally satisfied with the time I obtained. I wasn't able to make the most of the second tyre, but both the team and I know what to do to improve the situation. It was a shame, but tomorrow will be a new day and there is a good chance of landing in Q2."
