FABIO DI GIANNANTONIO
“Being on the podium is always a great result! Honestly, my feelings are a bit bittersweet because of the start, which wasn’t one of my best. But we’re working to be consistent in this area too. I pushed really hard throughout all the Sprint laps to get on the podium, which is an important result for the team as well. I had so much fun in the battle for third place. Tomorrow we’ll try to replicate this great result and end the season on a high note.”

FRANCO MORBIDELLI
“Today we just missed out a bit in qualifying, so I started from the third row. In the Sprint, the start was good, although I stayed behind Quartararo for many laps because I was looking for the perfect moment to overtake. Then I passed him, but once I was ahead, I was already too far from the leading group. For tomorrow, I hope to have a race similar to today’s. The goal is to start well like in the Sprint and then navigate the group properly in the opening laps.”
