It's rougher than I expected, I expected more grip. It's quite slippery. | ||||||

It's very hot, this stage was... We are learning. This was much better then the previous, I took it carefully. It's so hot that stickers on the pedals went off and there is lot of glue on my shoes. | ||||||

On the first loop our road position was really bad, now I'm not pushing, I don't know how this car and tyres can survive all this. I don't know the limits of the car. There were some impacts of course, I feel like it's win to be here. | ||||||

So twisty roads, good wake up call. I think we did a good job, we adjusted the setup. It will be difficult day, let's wait what Chris will do. We want to be competetive. | ||||||

The car is not working, we have some electrical issue. We have no power at throttle, I'm not sure if we are able to continue, I have to check. | ||||||

Not good, it's really bad. Not only the throttle problem, also the intercom started breaking up. | ||||||

I can't open the throttle, if I push it the engine breaks up. But OK, our only goal was to keep the position and reach the finish. I think we did good job during the weekend, it was our first time here, very demanding conditions. |
