“It was a good day but also a tough one. I didn’t expect to struggle as much this morning. However, the most important thing is that we made it into Q2. We’re currently working on improving rear grip, so I want to identify where we can make further progress for tomorrow. So far, I’m getting quite a positive feeling.”
