"It was a good Friday for us, and we'll definitely sleep better knowing we're straight into Q2 — which is a huge advantage for the weekend, especially here where overtaking is notoriously difficult. Being in Q2 is a solid step in the right direction, and tomorrow we'll try to take another one. The pace was strong right from the morning, and I actually felt good on the bike all day. I left a bit on the table during the time attack — there are definitely a few areas where I can improve, especially at the Waterfall (Turn 11) — but overall, I'm feeling confident. Even on used tires, the feeling was positive. Now let’s see what the weather does tomorrow, but whether it’s wet or dry, I believe we can be competitive."
