« Out of action since the start of the weekend ", in his words, the Spaniard was delighted with this result and the progress he has made: " I have never been so behind a teammate. As the sessions progressed, I worked to get back up. I had difficulty understanding the car and adapting my driving. » So, when it comes time to take stock, the Ferrari driver is satisfied: “ I was able to do a full lap and fight for pole so I can't complain. This 3rd place is a good thing. » He will have a good chance of fighting for victory this Sunday during the race.
