“Everything ran smoothly, but I could have be slightly faster in the last sector – comments poleman Travisanutto – I preferred to stay out of the pack and to concentrate on my driving. The track was better than this afternoon, maybe we had less grip but it turned out to be better for cornering. It’s the icing on the cake which concludes a good day.”
