“Today we improved with respect to yesterday, obviously it has not been enough to move on to Q2. I’m not 100% on this track, we could have improved but was not possible. For me, it is difficult managing the braking. For tomorrow we’ll analyse the data and try to make a step forward on the warm up. We have made small modifications that I hope will go well.”
