“We already assumed this weekend would start with some difficulties here in Mugello considering the long straight, but we didn't expect the struggles we experienced in FP1. During FP2 the situation became more normal again, apart from Valentino's P18, so we need to find out what happened there. We have been fast in sector 1 to 3 and we lost time where we foresaw. Today we were also able to test most of the tyre combinations and we could almost determine which option we'll use in Sunday's race. I expect that it will be a long night for our engineers to analyse the data and prepare some solutions so we can improve our performance at both sides of the garage for tomorrow's FP3 and have both riders in Q2.”
