It was nice to lead a few circles. Although this did not distract from holding a good racing pace. I am pleased with how everything went, especially the speed in Hard. On the last segment, I could play much more with the car - this is a pleasant feeling, ”the racer said.
Italian also shared his thoughts that he was the fastest on the highway for several circles in the second part of the race:
I study, I accumulate experience from the weekend to the weekend, I begin to understand the tires much better-when and, most importantly, how much it is possible to attack, especially in qualifications. Next week, the stage on the highway [in Bahrain], which I know is significantly better, so we will try to conduct qualifications well, and then the race.
Some definitions, albeit flattering, I do not really like it. I was also surprised that we had such a pace. When I was told on the radio that I was the fastest on the highway, I was somewhat amazed. But I laid out in full, because I saw that I could catch up with the opponents ahead. I believed to the end, but, unfortunately, did not get on time.
