“A positive start, already this morning, was needed for the whole team! We achieved this in the afternoon, there's still a lot to do, but I'm happy. I'm starting to see the fruit of the driving changes and I have more confidence thanks to the setting changes. I'm not perfect yet, but now the bike is more manageable, especially when entering corners. Let's stay focused, a good fight awaits us tomorrow.”
