Philipp Öttl

“This morning went quite well, also because we rode with the same tires, unlike many others.

In qualifying, however, the conditions were much, much hotter and I struggled a bit with the bike. It wasn't easy to put in a good lap and, on my best lap, I was also hindered by another rider, which didn't help.

We continue to work on ourselves and the bike: I think tomorrow we can make a step forward; we need to do that starting from the morning session.”
