Race IT Pool FAST Qualifying Times Pool FAST Quarter Final Grids Mikel Azcona First Qualifying was very tight in terms of all the times, so I knew I had to push a little bit more. I had some corners to improve as I made a few mistakes in Q1, so it wasn’t so difficult for me, but in the end I made another mistake and lost the gap I had built.

The car was very good, I could drive on the limit with full control and on maximum power – it was amazing. I have the best car of the year so far and I feel ready to go into the fights.
