LCR Honda IDEMITSU rider Takaaki Nakagami has finished 18th on Saturday’s Sprint at the Lusail International Circuit.
After suffering a crash during qualifying, Nakagami had to start from the back of the grid to face a comeback Sprint. He made a decent start and recovered some positions, but unluckily, a drop on the rear tyre prevented him from pushing. Tomorrow’s race will mean another chance to go and fight for the points.
Today, I've enjoyed the race. I was doing my job and having fun on the bike. However, I went wide on one of the corners and lost the chance of getting to the points. Overall, the feeling I've got on the Sprint motivates me ahead of tomorrow; I can't wait for the Sunday race!

We should have chosen another tyre compound because it was difficult to get to the end of the race. I struggled to manage the tyre drop, and things got complicated, so I just tried to finish without making mistakes. We’ll try again tomorrow
