To be honest, this is where we don’t need to do much effort in the setup, and I found the right feeling. "

After the last Spanish test, I was looking forward to this feeling and started to work hard to break through. Now, I just need to find more grip: (I’m on) the track, and it’s important to solve it from practice to qualifying. "
