“All weekend I haven’t been below third in any session and then the skies opened up for us - it was really wet out there. Thirteenth is not a good result for us obviously.

I got going at a decent pace mid-session but then at the end I tried a different tyre and it really didn’t give me a good feeling and that’s when the track was probably at its best. I had no feel on the straights and it was just spinning a lot there.

It really sucks because we’ve got a pretty good dry race set-up and to start 13th is going to make things tough. So I really hope it doesn’t rain tomorrow and that I can get a great start and see what happens.”
