#JapaneseGP - SPRINT 🇯🇵

After qualifying I was reasonably happy with the bike because I felt I had a fair bit more in the tank. Unfortunately, I made a couple of mistakes on my last lap and didn‘t put everything together. I still managed a 1:43.6 despite a yellow flag, and the next lap was looking even better, but I made another mistake in the final sector and lost some time. So I felt there was definitely more potential there.

In the race, I was missing some confidence in the front end and I wasn‘t able to brake as hard as I would have liked. I started to feel a little more comfortable towards the end as the bike became lighter, but just as things were starting to improve, I had a big moment and lost a few positions. I managed to save it, but there was a pretty big hole in my leathers afterwards. I had been running the medium rear because I preferred the stability, and the difference in grip compared with the soft wasn‘t particularly big for us. The tyre was still working well on the right side, but it had a lot of blistering through the centre.

It looks like everyone will have to use the hard rear tomorrow, and nobody has done a single lap on it yet, not just us but anyone. So it‘s going to be a bit of a lottery because we‘ll have to understand the tyre very quickly and adapt the bike around it. Hopefully they give us a little more time in warm-up because we really need to understand how it works before the race.
