Oscar Piastri: “I did when it mattered more”

PIASTRA He was extremely happy after he got pole and is already thinking about the race that will take place on Sunday, from 18:00.

“I felt confident throughout the weekend, but in the first training session I went more like a rally car than as a formula 1. But from there, everything was resolved. In the third training session I had a good pace, the others were closer than I wanted, but we managed to detach ourselves.

I did when it mattered most, I'm very happy. The start of the race will be important, we will see how we go through the first turn, “said Piastri, quoted by Sportal.bg.
