I’m disappointed to have missed Q2 today, but unfortunately, the feeling on the bike didn’t improve from FP1 to Practice. In Jerez, we addressed the issue, and I was expecting to feel a bit better, but we are working hard to find a solution. Tomorrow, I hope we can get back to a better feeling and keep pushing. We’re all super motivated to make it happen and I really want to do a nice job in front of my crowd.
