We were able to confirm here what we saw in Malaysia. The improvements we made there also worked here, including a small improvement in top speed. In a way we are satisfied, because all the new materials we introduced this year gave us a boost in performance. Most of the time the comments of our two riders matched, and it's fundamental to have them work in the same direction. But we still have work to do. The gap to our competitors is still important, and I had hoped to be closer. I didn't expect it, because in Sepang we improved our best lap by 0.5s and here by even more. But, as I said, it's not enough, so we will keep working. Our pace is not bad – not top 3 yet, but not bad – but the time attack remains our main area of improvement because good starting positions are a big advantage.
