Today was a solid start to the weekend and my final lap-time was pretty good. I was able to run at a reasonably consistent pace in both sessions and when the temperature rose for the afternoon my lap time came down quite a lot. Nonetheless, we still have a few issues to solve with settings and tyre choice if we’re to be truly competitive – we need to find a little bit extra. The gap is not big but everybody’s times are very close and a small gap counts for quite a lot at this circuit. Obviously this is an important race for me and for the team. It’s the last race of the year and our last chance to get a good result. Plus it’s a home race for me which adds an extra incentive. We want to win here so we’ve got to continue moving forward to make that possible.
