I like the track based on past experiences, I think my track records are quite good because it's a circuit that puts more stress on the front than on the rear, and I think I I'm happy with this style. The track is quite strange, it's not exactly high speed, so the VF-24 it shouldn't have any problems and there are also a couple of low-speed corners, so it should suit our car better.”
