Lewis, first of all obviously big effort from the mechanics to repair the car after FB3,
how was it feeling when you got out on track in qualifying?
Yeah massively grateful to the team, the guys were stretched to make sure they got the car ready and
I was feeling the car was feeling the best for all weekend in P3 and then unfortunately
I had to go and damage it so it wasn't the same car when I got back out,
unfortunately not identical in terms of balance but I got the best I could out of what I had.
After all of that only a couple attempts off the front row of the grids, what's your
thinking for tomorrow, the kind of race car you might have underneath you potential to move forward?
Yeah I think we could have been fighting for the top three today had I not had that problem in P3 so
I think still optimistic for tomorrow I think we
there's a chance there's all sorts of chances tomorrow to try and see if we
get on the podium that would be awesome.
