“It’s was a tough day for us and overall it’s been hard all weekend. In qualifying we managed to take a step forward but we haven’t got the result we hoped for. We still have a lot of room for improvement and luckily we have tomorrow’s warm up to find the positive points we need. It’s tricky, but the important thing is the race, so we’ll work hard to be as well prepared as possible. The team and I are going to give it everything we’ve got.”
