“We are coming off a few weekends in which we have taken steps forward with the setup of the bike. The team are working well and, seeing how competitive we were in the March test in Jerez, we want to continue with that at the Grand Prix. Our objective is to try to progress in the aspects that we found most difficult at the last race in Austin. Racing at home is always special, so I’m looking forward to the weekend.”
