# 64 Bo Bendsneyder (P14)
“Positive start to the race. With the new Pirelli tyres it’s a completely different feeling than with Dunlop, you have to manage them a lot more. I think we managed the rear tyre well but with the front tyre we suffered more, I lost a lot of time in the last seven laps. We got two points but it’s something to keep in mind for the next races, it’s very important to learn from this experience so we can take a step forward.”
