P12 today. Had a decent thing going until the rear tyre decided itโd had enough in the closing laps ๐ Plenty to take away from the weekend. Time to switch off for a couple of weeks then get stuck back in and see what we can bring after the summer break ๐ค
Bit frustrating, that one ๐ Got a decent launch but got boxed in at Turn 1 and spent the rest of the sprint trying to claw it back. The pace was actually pretty decent once I got into a rhythm so weโll take that. Make a few tweaks tonight and have another crack tomorrow ๐ค
P5 and straight through to Q2 ๐ Not a bad way to back up Suzuka. Took a couple of laps to remember which bike I was riding ๐ but once we got going the feeling was there straight away. Good day all round and weโre not done yet ๐ค
P12 and a few points in the bag ๐ Had to work for that one. Never really got the feeling I wanted but we kept plugging away and got everything we could out of it. Had a good little scrap out there and kept pushing right to the flag. Not a bad way to finish the weekend ๐ค
Wellโฆ that Sprint didnโt last long ๐ Rear brake bracket broke on lap one and that was pretty much game over. Frustrating one because the pace wasnโt actually too bad and it felt like we were making some progress. Weโll figure it out and have another crack tomorrow ๐ค
Bit of a stop-start day with all the yellow and red flags ๐ Never really got a clean crack at it. The bikeโs actually feeling pretty decent. Just need to tidy up that last sector and find a bit more on corner exit. Weโll get stuck into it tonight and have another go tomorrow ๐ค
P16 today. Gave it everything I had and honestly felt like that was about the max we had in our pocket. Physically felt good and was able to push from lights to flag. Toprak was bloody impressive in those chicanes too. Plenty to take away and plenty to keep working on ๐ค
P14 in the Sprint. Felt like we got pretty much everything out of it today which is both satisfying and a little bit frustrating ๐ Made up time where we could and the feeling got better towards the end. Weโll dig through the data tonight and have another go tomorrow ๐ค
Fieldโs tight as ever so feeling better than P18 looks ๐ The bike felt pretty decent in the corners and there was probably a bit more in the lap. Weโre right on the limit trying to make up time where we can. Weโll have another crack at it tomorrow ๐ค
P8 ๐ค Best one of the year so far. Had to be patient with the rear tyre but we got the most out of it today. Another step forward so weโll take that ๐ค
Bit trickier today. Had a good scrap out there but just couldnโt quite get into a groove. Not the result we were chasing but we learned a fair bit. 14th across the line, weโll dust ourselves off and have another crack tomorrow ๐ค
P10 and straight through to Q2 ๐ Pretty happy with that. The feeling with the bike got better and better as the day went on, the pace was strong and we managed to put ourselves in a good spot for the weekend. Nice way to start. Letโs see what we can do tomorrow ๐ค
P15. Another small step forward ๐ Had to be patient with the bike today but we stayed in the fight and kept learning. Not where we want to be yet, but weโre moving the right way ๐ค
P16 across the line. Was having a scrap with Fabio and Mav with three to go, ran a touch off line at T10 and lost the rear. Brutal conditions out there today, still chipping away every weekend though. Onto tomorrow and the 23 main lapper ๐ค
Decent Friday all up. P16 today, missed the Q2 cut so itโs Q1 tomorrow. Bikeโs feeling good, just losing a bit on the straights as always. Tidy a few things overnight and weโll have a crack ๐ค @pramacracing
Busy but productive test. Tried plenty of bits and pieces, feels like weโre starting to make proper headway with the bike now. Small gains but important ones. Still plenty of work to do and Mugello wonโt be easy but you can feel all the effort starting to pay off bit by bit ๐ค
Strange day out there. Felt decent early on but after the restarts we probably played it a bit too safe with the strategy. Still struggling a bit too much on corner exit which makes the battles tough. P15 in the end. Most importantly, hoping Alex and Johann are both ok ๐
P16's all we could manage today. Had a couple of cracks early on but couldn't stick it, then got swallowed up on the straight and that was that. Frustrating one because the pace was there, but the bike's heading the right way ๐ค
