On the fast lap I lost time in the first sector and couldn\u2019t recover it afterwards. Still, we\u2019re confident for tomorrow \u2014 we can have a good race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>SERGIO GARCIA #3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cToday was a positive day, really nice! I felt very comfortable with the bike this morning in FP2, where we worked with the race in mind. This afternoon I gave it everything in the time attack: I didn\u2019t expect to be this competitive, but we set a fast time and completed a clean lap without mistakes. I\u2019m happy \u2014 the position isn\u2019t the best, but it still gives us the chance to fight tomorrow. I\u2019m finding my feeling again and I\u2019m happy about that. Tomorrow I want to have a good race, keep a strong pace, and aim to finish in the top ten.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Qualifying \u2013 FrenchGP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8th &#8211;
