"Today was a step forward for me, although qualifying was a disaster. I just couldn’t make the soft rear tire work in any condition, so I had to do my best without crashing. For the Sprint, I opted for the medium rear, and overall it worked well — except for the first few laps where it took me a bit of time to get into the rhythm. We made some progress, but we still need to take another step ahead of the race tomorrow. The fact that everyone will likely run the medium rear should level things out a bit. My goal is to get a clean start, gain a few positions early, and then see how the race unfolds."
