Alvaro Bautista working on setup improvements as British GP weekend gets underway

Alvaro Bautista, set a very similar time to teammate Scott Redding on the first day of the Silverstone weekend, 2’03”391, ending the day in eighth place: the Spaniard tired on his Honda Rc213V machine the suspension set-up he has used in the recent Brno post-race test, confirming the slight improvements seen in Czech Republic.

ALVARO BAUTISTA (8th – 2’03″391)
“During today’s free practice session I have found the same feeling with the bike that I have had in the recent post-race test at Brno: the situation is slightly better than the last couple of races, although we are still not one hundred per cent. Today we also encountered low temperatures and we still lack a lot of rear grip, both going in and out of the corners. We are a bit more competitive, but we must continue to work hard to be able to reach a better contact feeling with the rear tyre”.
