In FP2 I went very well and this will be fundamental for tomorrow because in these weather conditions with the asphalt so hot it will be very difficult to improve the times in FP3. We are ready, I feel good and have a good feeling with the bike, in FP2 with the soft tires I improved a lot and we made a big step forward."
