His teammate Hafizh Syahrin was nineteenth in a race in which he could not fight for more, after a difficult weekend in which together with his technical team he struggled to get a set-up that would have allowed him to give the maximum.

Hafizh Syahrin:

“We close a complicated weekend in which we have been struggling a lot to try to understand our situation. We have improved, but not enough. In the race there was a lot of wind and it was difficult for me to turn the bike. It has been a nightmare this weekend. What we have tried has not worked, we improved in one point and worsened in another. We are going to give everything in Portimao, which will be our last race with the team.”

 

Aron Canet:

“It was a difficult weekend and we ended it with a crash. We had taken one more step in terms of set up and we were improving, quite the opposite of last week. However, I made a small mistake in turn six, when I closed too much, which caused me to crash. We must be happy, the main mistake has been the qualifying practice, starting from so far behind has hurt us.”
