“It really came down to two things tonight, the starts and I was struggling a little bit with the whoops. It was a tough track probably one of the toughest A1’s that we’ve had in quite some time.”

“On a positive note, I had really good qualifying sessions all day, so I know I can be fast and be there. I just have to put it all together. It’s always easier said than done, but it’s possible. We’re going to try and fix the little things and come back next week.”
