A rollercoaster weekend. Between qualifying mistakes, a flat-out sprint, and a race full of overtakes. But P8 just isn’t enough for me.
I didn’t manage to go straight into Q2. I tried the soft tyre, but I was really struggling. We need new solutions to push the bike to the limit right from the start — that’s the main goal we’ll focus on over the next few weeks before Mugello.
Saturday was a mix of frustration and anger. Quali was a real disaster. I crashed right at the beginning of the session, far from the pits, then ran like crazy to grab the spare bike — but we had to reset everything. I only had one lap in the end, and that put me starting from the very last row. In the Sprint I had a poor start, the bike spun up and I dropped even further back. But I started a fierce comeback, pushed the tyres past the limit, and finished eighth.
In the main race, I did it again: same comeback, from P20 to P8. Lots of overtakes, but it’s still not enough. We’ve got solid pace in the race, and we have to make the most of it. We’ll have some new solutions available during the test, and we’ll give it everything to have a big weekend at Mugello.
Stay tuned!
