It was a tough weekend in Sepang.
Right from Free Practice, I was struggling a lot — I just couldn’t find the right grip.
Missing out on Q2 made everything even harder.
In qualifying, I couldn’t do better than P14, and I knew both races were going to be an uphill battle.

In the Sprint, I managed to recover well, and finished P6, which — considering how things had been going — was honestly a good result.

For Sunday’s race, we decided to start with the medium front tyre, thinking that with the heat and the race distance, it could help solve some of the issues that were slowing us down.
But instead, I struggled even more.
I couldn’t overtake or ride the way I wanted.
It was a difficult race, where I gave everything — but just couldn’t perform as I hoped.

But honestly, on Sunday, the race wasn’t the most important thing.

When you see two riders airlifted out of the track and you don’t know how they are, it’s really hard to focus and put your helmet back on.
This is our job — sometimes it’s pure joy, other times it’s really tough.

So, once the race was over, I could only think about what really matters right now:
that José (Rueda) and Noah (Dettwiler) can come back to us soon and safe.
