"Right until the end of the session I thought I had a good chance of getting provisional pole. But I guess we wasted too much time playing around with our set-up during the session. We changed everything half way through the session and we also put on some softer tyres. It was too much change and it cost us too much time. The conditions were strange today and also I crashed this morning so I think we can expect to go much better tomorrow. The team did a great job in Estoril, during our test there, and the bike works much better. We'll just have to be patient. The results will come."
