“Marc’s start was a bad one, but not as bad as I’d hoped. I tried to push, but when I saw him behind me, I realised that the smartest thing to do was to settle for second place. On a racetrack where your main rival is so dominant, we need to have a clever approach to racing. We’ll obviously try to defeat him tomorrow, but at the moment he’s got one and a half gears on us. We celebrate another podium and don’t give anything for granted; great job also by Fermin, who keeps growing.”

“We did take a gamble with the tyre choice, but it wasn’t luck. We worked on it, and it was a carefully thought decision. It was a risk worth taking in the Sprint race also to gather some data ahead of tomorrow. We got a great start which will be hard to replicate tomorrow, but we have all it takes to do well tomorrow”.
