Takaaki Nakagami 13th
“It was a tough race, but we’ve been lucky to get to the points today. We’ve struggled during the weekend, and it wasn’t easy to finish in the points. The conditions were tricky, so I spoke to my crew chief, and I decided to use this strategy, as the rain would pass, and it paid off. The feeling was the same; I suffered the chattering, and we were quite frustrated. Let’s see how we can improve during tomorrow’s test”.
