“Today seems like a bad day, but it's not as bad as it seems. Our ideal lap time is very close to Marc's, which means we can reach it and we are driving well. Unfortunately today I made some mistakes and wasn't able to do the perfect lap, this is the problem I'm having right now pushing with a tire on a new track. I'm making mistakes. It's only FP2, we need to do a good lap tomorrow. Today it was about learning this bike on this track and we spent most of the second session doing that because the track wasn't perfect in the morning."
