Jeremy Alcoba
“The second race of the weekend didn’t go as expected because, considering yesterday’s performance and how we ended the first race, the idea was to continue in the same way. Today I started really well and didn’t lose any positions because I’ve improved my starts. I was so happy about that and then tried to push early on so that I could be in the leading group. Over the first six or seven laps everything was really close, and I saw potential to move up. Then the tyre dropped a lot, and I started to slow down. At the end of the race, it was hard to keep good pace. We need to find a solution for the next race.”
