“We’ve made some improvements with the bike today and the feeling is pretty good.

I wasn’t totally satisfied with my qualifying laps and of course I’m definitely a little disappointed with my grid position – 0.4s doesn’t sound like a long way off but right nowin this league at this track it’s a lot.

It’s frustrating to be this far back especially knowing how tight it could be on the first lap – you’ve got to be smart in turn one, but you can’t go in there tip-toeing either.”
