It was a tough day, as I struggled a bit at the start. By the end, we managed to be fast and set a good lap time, but we still need to improve to feel more comfortable. We know the bike is competitive, but we need to find its full potential and the right setup. It’s a work in progress. We are looking for that 'really good feeling’, we’ll see tomorrow!

Coming here is nice for me; it’s a different layout. It’s been a positive day, and we need to keep this up. Tomorrow, we’ll try to keep improving. It’s difficult to find the lines, and that’s why today I followed some rivals to learn from them. We’re working hard. Everything will come in time; the important thing is to improve day by day. Tomorrow, we’ll focus on the race simulation. Let’s see how it goes!
