“We must not get carried away by enthusiasm because at Mugello we also started very well, especially with Tony on Friday, but the weekend didn’t end as we had hoped. To be honest, here things have started even better than at Mugello. We are genuinely fast with both tire options that Pirelli brought, and the riders have no major complaints. There’s still room for improvement, but as a base setup, we have everything we need to perform well in Q2. In any case, during tomorrow morning’s second free practice, we will focus a lot on race pace, which is what we’ve been missing lately, especially with Tony.”
