Overall it was a bit disappointing today. We had high hopes, but we seemed to struggle from FP1 – the pace wasn’t really there. To qualify 12th was the best I could do with changing track conditions. I raced well from there. Overall, I think it was a good recovery but I’m nowhere near satisfied with the result. I want to be on the podium. But I’m looking forward to Mexico, I like the track there.

It was a tough weekend. We realise that not qualifying in the top 10 or in Super Pole makes the race very difficult. I think this one was even harder because you couldn’t overtake – the asphalt was destroyed – so in general it made the race even harder. We must focus on qualifying and finding speed in the car because efficiency doesn’t seem to be that much of an issue nowadays.

Unfortunately, we were compromised by our qualifying today which put us out of podium contention. With that in mind we thought we had to go aggressive with our approach in the race and we showed good progress – Mitch moving up to P6 and Nelson just out of points in P11. I think we probably made the most progress out of any teams on the grid, and from our point of view that is a positive – we have a good racecar. The break up of the circuit made it very hard to overtake in the spots you usually could, and it made it treacherous if you went offline to try to. That hindered our progress a little bit, but overall with the high temperatures we made great progress. We must get qualifying right. That’s our one area where we’ve probably compromised our results this weekend. That’s going to be our key focus now; putting that

together with the race pace that we have, and I think we’re on for a positive result, we just need to execute our qualifying really effectively.
