We’ll happily take it and move forward now to the race. We felt like we were in a good position and it was less than two tenths to getting through to Q3 which was very unexpected to be this close. “Q1 didn’t look too bad and Q2 was ok, actually. It’s very tight so I think it’s going to be more about tire management and strategy tomorrow.” That’s a bummer, that’s what we got right last week but today we didn’t manage to do the same.
