It was a bilateral Saturday in the Pramac camp. On one side you can see the big smile Jack MillerFace with his first pole in the premier class; on the other hand is the disappointment of Danilo Petrucci. It was a complicated day for the Italian driver who missed the second quarter. Tomorrow he will be forced to start from eighteenth place in the back of the group.
“It was a difficult day – Danilo began – yesterday I made some mistakes in FP2 that put our plans to get into the top ten at risk. In RP4, however, I was able to be pretty quick – he admitted – However, there was a lot of rain on the track, so I opted for a wet setup for the first quarter. “
This decision turned out to be problematic for the Pramac driver.
“Unfortunately the track started to dry out at that moment. so my confidence fell – the Italian driver pointed this out – I had no speed at the corners The front got closer and closer and my performance wasn’t positive. “
Danilo has a bitter taste in his mouth, but at the same time he recognizes his teammate Jack Miller’s company.
“I’m happy for him. He’s taken a big risk, but he’s in pole position – concluded Petrucci – the problem was the weather conditions. Since the track was completely dry, I felt competitive. But once it started to dry up it got difficult to drive and it gets complicated tomorrow too. “
