Yesterday I said that I would try my very best and I gave it everything that I could, but it ended up being a struggle out there. I tried to put up a fight, but in the end it was impossible to keep them behind. We got a bit unlucky with the VSC, but of course that is part of racing and overall the pace wasn’t really there. We had nothing to lose so I was just trying to have a bit of fun on the track and it was cool to be out there racing. The race was unfortunately quite difficult for us in general and we ultimately lacked pace and struggled with the breaks. Every time that I tried to get close or push a bit more, my tyres would overheat a lot. It was really down to tyre management today and the track had quite high degradation, which is not our strong suit at the moment. We need a bit more performance to make sure we are more competitive, but we were quite far off today.

It was unnecessary for me to be in that position with the time penalty and it made things a lot more difficult in the race for me and my old teammate certainly did nothing to make my life easier in those last few laps! Isack picked up the pace quite a lot, I was pushing a lot and he kept coming back. It was tough to keep the five second gap but I had to do what I had to do and I maximised the pace.

I am happy I was able to score points but again, not happy with the pace I had. I think, as a Team, we struggled overall with race pace, it wasn’t just me and it is something we have to look at. I did all I could in this race. I gave the maximum that I can for now, it is tough to get the car in the place we want, but we will work towards it and make up for it in the future. I am feeling more confident in the car as the weeks go by and we will unlock it.

I’m not really happy with my driving today as I feel like I made some mistakes here and there, and in the end, I think that cost me the top 10. At the same time, however, it shows how much I pushed. There was no margin at all. We did several laps on hard tyres after the pit stop and overall it was an enjoyable race as it was a Qualifying battle with Yuki. I knew I was still within the five second gap during the last lap as I had the gap difference live. I gave everything I could, but unfortunately it wasn’t enough. We missed a point by just one-tenth and a half. I’m feeling confident heading to Imola next; I know the track well and I also won there in F2.

We had a really good start. A big gap opened up into turn one so I went in and was following whoever was in front of me and then felt a hit from the side. We took some big damage there and was holding out for some rain, but unfortunately it never came. It's a shame because the team have done a great job this weekend and the car has been fast. We'll reset ahead of the triple header, keep looking forwards and keep improving things.
