"In race 2 we started last, and nothing really happened in the opening stages. I kept my pace as nobody was attempting to do any moves. In the end, we decided to go for slicks, which got us the fastest lap. The start of race 3 was good. The tyres this time were in the right temperature and even the clutch setting was right. In turn 1 I was side by side with Pourchaire but I didn't want to risk everything there and I was aiming to play the strategy game. I stayed close to the lead for most of the race, but right after the midpoint, I started to lose the front left which moved the car's balance to the understeer side. In the last three laps before pitting I started to lose pace and rotation. We had an issue with the pit-stop, which happens, and we lost a lot of time. After three virtual safety cars, it was hard to put the tyres back to temperature. In the end, I gained one position and got to P4, not the result I hope for, but we'll move on."
