Although I couldn’t make it to the podium, I gave it my all, and we were strong throughout the entire race. I did everything I could to extract the maximum from what we had, and it was interesting to analyze our rivals and compete at the front. This weekend has felt like a dream and has given us a lot of motivation to keep working and begin to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Many thanks to everyone for their amazing work.

Today was quite challenging; the feeling was notably different from yesterday. I couldn’t fight for the positions the way I wanted to, and it was difficult to maintain my pace. We’ll analyze the data thoroughly and see what we can do to improve this feeling moving forward.
