Half-full glass for Öttl today: tenth in Race 1, but tomorrow he will start from the second row thanks to the sixth best lap.

Philipp Öttl

“Today's race wasn't bad. Obviously, it's not the result we're aiming for, but there were also some positive aspects.

We had a good start and the fastest lap was also an encouraging sign.

Tomorrow we will start from P6, which is a very positive thing. We have made a step forward with the bike and I am really happy about it, but we need to keep working because I believe there is still potential to unlock.

I can't wait to be back on track tomorrow.

We will try to improve during the warm-up and continue to grow step by step. I think we can still make progress to achieve a better result.”
