"To be honest, I was not super confident at the start because of what happened yesterday, so I braked a bit too early this time. Then something else happened ahead of me on track, and I lost two more positions because of that. I was able to overtake Binder and Bagnaia in the first laps, but after the long-lap penalty the tyre started to drop and I lacked grip. I was pushing hard and was strong in braking, but I was not able to close the gap to Pecco."
