Yonny Hernandez
I am very happy with today, we are improving greatly. Already in FP1 I was up there with the leaders and then I improved in FP2. Now we need to stay concentrated to perform well in the Epole tomorrow.
Alessandro Zaccone
A complicated day, I struggled a lot in FP1. In the afternoon I then improved, but even so we need to go a step further to do well in the race.
