It was an interesting day. This afternoon, the track conditions changed, and I didn’t feel great on the bike. However, it’s good to have had that margin even in tricky conditions, that’s encouraging! The other bikes were struggling too, so that gives us a direction for tomorrow. I think our bike has some strong points, and we managed to do a good job. We’ll try to repeat it tomorrow, secure a good grid position, and be ready for the Sprint.

Today was a solid day. We analyzed the data, and I improved in the braking areas. The grip coming out of some corners wasn’t ideal, and I struggled a bit. There's one sector where I’m losing a lot of time, if I can take a step forward there tomorrow, we can do a better job.
