“I think the whole weekend we've nev🌺er found that sw🥂eet spot, unfortunately. Most of the time people were aborting their laps on new tyres.

“Every time at the beginning of a session, people behind me, they were on scrub tyres, when I p𝕴ut new tyres on. It was okay, but it's just not how I like it.

“The car was never really, as I said, planted. It was a bit difficult in some corners💖, and it made it very difficult to be consistent.”&nb💫sp;
