“But the target is to put it up together, not to do some good corners only. And then we struggled a bit more at the beginning of each💙 stint on the long stint.
“I think it was true for us, but true for a couple of other cars. The track was very dirty with a lot of marbles as soon as we were out o𓄧f the line. I💫t was quite difficult to recover.
