"We really had to push as a team to start the Qatar GP off right. Previously, we came here earlier in the year when the temperatures are lower. Today, we were surprised that despite it being hot and dusty, the track was quite grippy. Overall, we had a good day. Fabio did a very good last time-attack run and secured a place for Q2, which was our objective for both riders. Álex came very close too, missing out on a top-10 result by only 0.03s after the chequered flag had come out. Tonight and tomorrow morning, our work will be focused on preparing for qualifying. It will be crucial to start the Sprint and the Race as much towards the front as possible."
