The rain finally disrupted the hostilities on the Silverstone track this Saturday. Despite these difficult conditions, Loris Baz managed to get close to a place in Q2.
For only a few thousandths, the Frenchman will start from 13th position on the grid. Riding his Ducati, although the weather is still uncertain, he hopes to be able to finish in the Top 10 when the checkered flag passes and score many points.
“Sur le mouillé, j’aurais pu penser faire mieux, mais compte tenu des sensations que j’avais durant la dernière séance d’essais libres, je ne suis pas mécontent.. C’est un circuit qui offre beaucoup moins de grip que Brno. En suivant quelques pilotes, j’ai remarqué que j’avais beaucoup moins de grip que les autres.
During qualifying, I chose to use the hard tire at the front, and I managed to achieve my best time by playing on the braking phases. I think I lost a little time because of my adjustments at the rear. However, this remains our best qualification in a while.
In the dry, I am very fast in the first sector. We encounter some difficulties on the fast turns. We have a few solutions to try, but for that the warm-up would have to take place in the dry. We will see tomorrow if the weather allows us.
Pour la course, nous viserons le Top 10 comme d’habitude. Je pense que j’ai le potentiel de marquer de nombreux points.”
