“This is a truly unique track and we need to put all the pieces of our package together to make it happen. Tomorrow we can improve, continue working and make more and more of these small steps in the environment. Unfortunately I hit the white line between seven and eight o'clock because the wind was stronger than at the beginning of the session and pushed me a little wide. A little dirty and I lost the front when I grabbed the brake. It's a shame because I felt strong and could do a good lap, I didn't lose anything in the first sectors against Bastianini."
