“To be honest, I am very satisfied with my laps. I don’t think there was much more left. I am of course not satisfied with the result, but I couldn’t do more today.I have no other choice – every time I get in the car, I try to press the reset button and get the best out of it. And tomorrow is a new day.The goal was to move forward. That wasn’t possible today. Not just today, but also in the past two weeks, but whatever.
“We are where we are for a reason. We are not fast enough. I think we get beaten fair and square by the people in front. It’s not that we got unlucky or something was wrong.So it feels like we are hitting a wall. I was happy with my laps and I don’t think there was more in my car. It’s obviously disappointing to be in 12th, disappointing to have a gap between the cars but as I said I’m doing everything I can.
“To go faster I need more grip. I have to say compliments to my engineering group: We tried lots of things, I felt a bit better in the car this weekend but if you look at the stopwatch it seems to make no difference.We tried a lot of things since last week, but it doesn’t make a difference. We are pretty much stuck… Run out of answers!
