“It has been a good day, as it is always positive when you manage to pass directly to Q2. I felt good from the very early laps this morning, the test in Jerez was really what we needed to shake down the bike and try a few different things in a different layout than Malaysia and Thailand. The Jerez test could not have been coming at a better time, well couple of days before would have actually been better, but I am happy with the steps we made, I am happy with the bike, we are keeping building and get a good feeling, which here in Le Mans can be tricky sometimes. I am satisfied with my fast laps, but also the pace was not bad at all, already from the end of FP1. But I feel there are still some areas on the track that I can improve, like turns 9 and 10 where I don’t feel amazing. And also in the last sector I know I can improve more.”
