Andrea Iannone therefore emerges as the fastest man on this first day at Silverstone.
Seventh this morning, the Ducati rider left his opponents no chance this afternoon by achieving 2'01.421 during his last turn. However, the man from Abruzzo is probably not fully satisfied because he is not very voluble in his press release…
Andrea Iannone, 1st: “In FP2 we changed something from the settings this morning, but in the end we went back to the previous settings because I didn't like the changes very much. On this circuit it is very important that the rear of the bike works well and we are focused on that. I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow because we still have a lot of work to do, me, my team and my track engineer, who is also helping me find the best lines on this circuit. »
We therefore had to go to his private press conference to have a little more detail on this last point: “We're off to a good start. From the start, I had a good feeling on the bike, a little less on the circuit because it has always been very difficult for me in the past. But this afternoon, I tried and I understood the trajectories a little better by following Vale during part of the tests. I also checked my data and compared it with Dovi. But I think the feeling with the bike is very important at the moment, and it's very good. I attacked 100% and everything was good, which is a very good point for us. »
