Fabio, what a trick! We're curious: What was it like to be followed by Marc and then find yourself in the lead?
fabio quartararo : “it was really difficult because, honestly, I knew that Marc wanted to follow me. So we did a rather slow lap coming out of the pit lane because I wasn't really confident with the tires: I went wide at the first turn, then I made a mistake at turn 2, and I I almost suffered a highside at turn 5. So it was quite difficult to manage but I managed to have a clear turn for the last lap. I'm very happy with this lap, although I made a mistake in the last corner and almost lost the front. But I'm very happy with this lap, and for the team because both drivers are on the front row. »
