« But I only want to remember the positive things from this day. We were all afraid of rain this afternoon, so I went out early with new tires. I had a good time, but not fast enough to be in the top 10. During the last minutes, my tires were not fresh enough to be even faster ».
He finishes : " However, I did quite a few fast laps and this regularity is more than positive. I'm crossing my fingers for dry track conditions on Saturday morning. I could thus improve my times and access Q.2 directly. I remain positive because I have good feelings on the bike while riding on this track ».
