“We made a lot of steps forward: Direct seed to Qualifying 2 (Q2) and a good grid position, so I was expecting a lot more from the race,” he said.
He said he tried his best to gain positions during the race, but admitted he faced challenges.
“I was struggling a little bit more than in qualifying. Anyway, we go home with some points, so let’s try to see everything positively and see what will happen in Malaysia,” he added.
