“I feel P7 was trying fairly sensible going into the race, clearly received near Carlos on the finish, however simply didn’t fairly have the tempo this weekend typically, so want to know why that was the case. Clearly whenever you qualify that far again it makes life very powerful, so simply want to know why it’s been so troublesome.”
