“Then we did one thing that helped quite a bit within the second and third exit and I improved my tempo quite a bit.
“Then within the afternoon the wind was even worse, and possibly for my setting or for my driving type I used to be struggling a bit.
“Then we did one other step in entrance and within the third exit with used tyres I did fairly a very good tempo and I’m completely happy about that.
“However within the time assault I didn’t do an excellent lap time.
“So, it’s true I’m fairly proud of the sensation I had earlier than the final time assault in FP2, however I’m not completely happy for the time assault.
