In qualifying I always found traffic and in the end the eleventh place on the grid does not express our true potential. In race 1, with the good comeback up to sixth place, we saw where we are in a position to be: too bad for the last excited lap, after the safety car came back, which cost me the good placement and which in fact has also compromised the result of race 2 … “.
