The track in Monaco is very difficult, but it’s a pleasure to drive here. I’m learning more and more with each lap, and I feel like I’m gaining more and more speed this first time. We’ve gathered a lot of data, and I hope this will help us find the right balance on the car. We’ll have time to analyze everything and we can make good progress before the qualifiers on Saturday.
