I had a good start and felt I could maintain a strong pace. However, I struggled with rear grip on corner entry. I tried to do my best to at least secure some points, and that's exactly what we did. It was important to stay focused and make the most of what we had. Tomorrow’s test will be crucial to improve in some areas and be fully ready for Le Mans.

I’ve been struggling with arm pump throughout the whole weekend. I thought it might go away, but it kept getting worse. I’ll visit my doctor on Tuesday after the test to find out exactly what’s going on.
