“I’m happy to be at Estoril. It will be an important round, of course, and we will approach it with much confidence, thanks in part to the good feelings we had at Aragon. We will try to do our best, as always, thinking only about improving session after session”.

“We’re coming off a good Sunday at Aragon, but it’s clear that this is a very different circuit from the one in Spain. For this reason, it will be important to start well right from FP1. We are fighting for third place, we need to make up points, and it will be important not to make mistakes”.
