Stefan Bradl was out on track with the HRC Test Team after illness forced him to sit out Friday afternoon. Working to make up for the lost track time, the German adjusted his plan and restarted his weekend. Securing 23rd on the grid with a best time of 1’40.276, he would race to 18th in the Sprint.

“It has been a complicated 48 hours, but I am happy that we were able to return to the track and get back to work – this is the most important point. Missing Friday afternoon put us on the back foot but the whole Test Team worked well to get done what was in our plan. I made a mistake in the Sprint and went wide which compromised our whole race. Now we rest a bit more and try to be stronger again for Sunday’s Grand Prix.”
