I'm pretty quiet and do not have the greatest hopes in Sunday's race in China. We have the same equipment as the last two races in Italy. Therefore, our goal is also quite low. We have to be realistic and work with what we have. Look at the lap times and improve ourselves. It is the main focus. I really hope we get new equipment already in the Dubai race 10-12 december. We will have meetings with the management for the team here in China this week so that will be interesting.
The course here in Ningbo is quite compact and quiet weather are guaranteed without waves. It suits us poor but we have what we have equipmentwise but we always do our best. This is actually only our third race in this series so we have much more to learn. That's for sure. We are very excited to race here because the environment is fine and there are insanely many spectators and a lot of emotions around the track and pit. I've never seen anything like this in my career so far.
See you around, thanks for your kind support! :-)
