Massimo Roccoli: “This morning in the second round of qualifying, I found some traffic that prevented me from taking pole position, but I still managed to start the race from the second row. At the start, I did my best, but unfortunately from the first laps a technical problem forced me to slow down my pace and in the final, I had to make do with the eleventh place, especially in the offing of the championship. Now we work for tomorrow’s race and we are confident that we can do well also in consideration of the race pace that I have shown to have in the tests”.
