Hey Arvid, obviously you did the first thing, you got into Q2,
were you disappointed with the pace or what you were able to deliver in that session?
Yeah, in Q1 I felt okay. On the red flag lap I was up by quite a lot and I felt comfortable
towards the end of Q1 but then in Q2 I just wasn't able to deliver. We
had to use tyres to start with so they were really cold so I struggled a bit on the first run
and then I was on a decent lap on the second lap of the first run and I made a mistake in
the last sector which obviously didn't matter because I knew the last run was the one that
counted but then at the start of both my laps on run two there was a lot of queuing in the
last sector which meant I wasn't able to get the tyres ready at all so I got turn one and
everything was just stone cold and just had no grip so you need to understand why it was
so sensitive but now I'm pretty disappointed because I feel like the potential was there,
I felt comfortable for the first time this weekend in Q1 but then in Q2 we just weren't
able to maximise on it. I know it's hard to overtake around here but it's a long afternoon
tomorrow and anything can happen, there's still a chance right that you can maybe salvage something?
Yeah we'll see what happens, I mean obviously we'll look at the previous years but
I think we know Monaco is always difficult.
