You are second before the last qualifying heat. What is your assessment of yesterday? It went well. I got good results early in the day with two first places in the first heats. After, during the day, it was a little degraded and it was more complicated during the last round. The track was slippery, it was declining. I think it was due to the wear of the tires and the heat of the track.
The reasons for satisfaction are so many? Yes. I'm second, there's a race left. For the moment I'm taking points, 9 exactly. I hope to get a lot this Sunday, at least as much as possible.
What is your goal this weekend? It's the championship. I am 8th now. I want to finish as high as possible to the general. A podium would be great, but a top 5 would already be very good. And for the race, I'm aiming for victory. I will leave with new tires, I think it will be an advantage for me. It would be cool to win here.
Running at home is an advantage? I think yes. We must give everything. We have more support. We do not have a lot of home racing. Then, I know and I really like this track, the grip, its layout. The coating is beautiful. I'm not far from home and more. Frankly, there is something to do.
What are you going to play today? What is certain is that it will be played out to the point. This is the case in many races. It's very tight. I will focus on myself, do my race and I will see well in the end. We must not take care of his opponents. We must also consider the dirty side of the track at the start. I will give everything in the last race to go ahead and try to be the smartest to win.
Sunday program: 5th and final qualifying round. Finals from 12 noon.
