Malaysian GP – Saturday

Joan Mir – 16th
“There were some steps forward today, I know that we struggled and lost a lot in Qualifying but in the Sprint we were able to get something back. We changed a few things on the bike to ride in a more natural way, which also helped us. I made a good launch but then got stuck in some traffic, then in Turn 4 someone’s wing flew at me so I had to stand up. The opening laps were quite tricky but then we settled into our pace and we were quite competitive from the middle of the race.”

Luca Marini – 15th
“We had a decent race, I got a good start and was able to fight in the early laps. Our pace was still not there with the other riders and I was risking too much to stay in the 1’59s, so I wasn’t able to stay with the group ahead of me. Overall I feel that we have made a step compared to yesterday, which is a positive and I want to say thank you to my team for doing a lot during the night. There are still some improvements for us to make, especially under straight braking so I hope we can make some steps with that. Let’s see what will happen tomorrow, there’s still more to come.”
