“I am pleased with the improvement we managed to make in the afternoon, because this morning we had a lot of chattering and by working with the team we succeeded in limiting it a lot. Now I’m much closer to the top guys for pace, but we still have to improve because I am unable to be as smooth as I would like in race mode. All things considered I am satisfied with today, even though at the end I didn’t do a good lap with the soft tyre. For sure we can be even quicker, but we will have to make another step forward tomorrow morning”.
