Jack Miller already enjoying it!
The Australian from Marc VDS is experiencing his last Grands Prix with the Honda before joining Ducati within the Pramac team. Twelfth at the end of this wet Friday, he was able to see, like his colleagues, that it will be complicated to manage his rear tire if the conditions seen this Friday are repeated on the day of the Grand Prix: “ The biggest problem in these kinds of conditions is that the rear tire starts to overheat when the track starts to dry » comments the one who is twelfth.
« It was a strange day as it rained at the start of FP1 but the track started to dry before the end of the session. There was a strip of almost dry bitumen where it was possible to attack but where we still couldn't let go like in the dry. I had a good pace in the wet and I'm also happy with the pace I was able to adopt when the track started to dry ».
The teammate of Rabat finished : " So the day was positive and I think we're going to have a very lively FP3 because everyone will be trying to get their place in the top ten to go straight to Q2. We're going to have fun and I'm looking forward to getting into the fray
