“First I want to say sorry again to Marc. Straight after the session I went and spoke with him in person, these incidents can happen, and I hold my hand up that it was my mistake. I accept the penalty for tomorrow’s race. Today and in the Sprint we were able to get some interesting data for the engineers and stay with Joan and Taka for most of the race. The aim is to do this again tomorrow in the main race and see what happens, 30 laps here will be quite different to today.”
