“The second day here in Red Bull Ring has been better than yesterday. This morning we changed the engine, and I was feeling even better with my bike. During FP3 I have been able to sign many fast lap times, and I have been able to stay with the first riders for many laps. I also had the possibility to go straight to QP2, during which the track had different conditions because track temperature was hotter. Tomorrow I will start from a good position, but even so, I have to keep on working a lot in order to keep on improving. “
