“I’m quite happy with my qualifying performance, we did a good job: we improved in every session and after trying some adjustments in the free practice sessions, we took the right direction in qualifying. I improved my lap-time and even if I know we’re still missing something, we have a good pace. The goal for tomorrow is to be a few tenths faster in order to battle with Aegerter, who was the fastest today.”
14th – ALESSIO FINELLO #72 (2’01.108)
“I’m quite happy with qualifying, even though we could have made a further step forward. We will start the races from fourteenth place on the grid: each time out I’m getting more confident in staying with the group. The gap with the leaders is still big, but I’m sure tomorrow’s race will be a good one and I will learn a lot from it. We’ll have fun!”
