It’s been a good day! We’ve achieved the best result of the year so far, which is always a boost of motivation. The beginning of the race was tough and I lost several positions. At that point, I tried not to lose concentration, and during the second half of the race, I started to feel better, which allowed me to get to the 8th position. I’ve enjoyed the battle, many thanks to the team for the job done this weekend!

The beginning of the race was difficult. I didn’t get the feeling with the rear tyre, and the conditions were tricky, so it took me some laps to understand the situation. Then, I started to feel better, I could overtake some rivals as I was faster than some of them. In the end, I managed to grab some points, which is always important. We’ll try again next week in Malaysia!
