« We lost the possibility of doing the maximum point this weekend. During qualifying, our fastest round with the two cars was made with worn tires and not with new tires. We have not been able to exploit the potential of new tires. The tour we did with the worn tires was not so bad. We had to be 4 and 5. But when the others put on new tires, we lost the fourth and fifth places “First explained Frédéric Vasseur in comments reported by NextGen-Auto.
“If I knew the answer, I would take a step forward”
