We will have to develop the bike and push to win, but we also need to avoid mistakes. Much has been made of our chassis. Because we started the season with a new chassis 2017. But we have experienced unexpected situations. That is why we again changed some stuff. However, we also won four races.
Then, our bike is very good. It’s nuances in the combination of setting, tires, pilot, and track. This combination must be perfect around the world. This means that we have to work on every detail. In the second part of the season, we will try some new things. Our engineers are studying all our weaknesses and seek to improve our strengths. Even the smallest details are to be studied.“
