“I was definitely hoping to be on the front two rows today and I just missed out on that. Nevertheless thanks to the guys in my team because they’ve done a good job and had a few really useful ideas this weekend.

As the weekend’s progressed we’ve moved up a couple of tenths on race tyres in every session and also moved up a couple of positions in each session. It’s still not as close to the front as we’d like and there hasn’t been any big steps forward but we’ve definitely made some progress in a few areas for this track.

Tyre choice is going to be really critical so we’ll be looking at that tonight. I know it’s going to be a big job tomorrow and I’ll have to eat my Wheeties! Hopefully I can find a few more tenths and try to get a decent start and hang with the boys as best I can tomorrow.”
