QUOTES:

"What happened in Qualifying surprised me a lot. I found myself in a car that just wasn’t like the one I had driven up to this point this weekend. The team noticed it too and will work on it. The rear-end moves a lot. It is impossible to go fast when you don’t have neither the confidence nor the grip".
