“Today was a very busy day. Some members of my team had to isolate themselves waiting for the results of the molecular swab and this made things more difficult, not just for me but for the whole team. – said Mir – I also had an accident, which made the work even more complex for the remaining team members. We know, however, that these things can happen and we need to adapt. I struggled a bit with the electronics today, so I didn’t have the opportunity to put together a lot of laps. Overall, I feel happy and things are moving in the right direction. Tomorrow we will continue to work ”.

This allowed us to be faster and to improve our pace. I still miss a quick lap: I went for a time attack, but I saw some raindrops on the visor and I decided to abort my attempt. It is not yet time to take risks. The track today had more grip and we were able to to test the components that we were unable to bring to the track at Sepangand this was useful ”.
