It was a good start to the Indonesian GP, though it's incredibly hot, which is challenging for the riders. The grip on track is good though, and we know it will continue to improve throughout the race weekend. Fabio is feeling good with the bike. He focused on getting a good lap in on soft tyres early on in the Practice, and his strategy worked well. That Q2 placement is crucial for the rest of this weekend. The team was also glad to have Álex back in good health and back in action after suffering from a severe flu last week. Despite the missed track time and still struggling to breathe in this heat, he was challenging for a top-10 placement, and his time is not far off. We will analyse today's data and do some fine-tuning for tomorrow. The times are all very close together, and Álex is still in with a shot of earning a spot in Q2 in tomorrow's Q1.
