Suzuka: a hectic qualifying

Suzuka: hectic qualifying

I'm not happy, as I made it through to Q3, but after crashing the car I couldn’t take part. A great shame as this would have been my second Q3 of the season and the car was super today. I was reasonably comfortable so maybe I didn't need to do that last lap. In Q1 after I crashed, I managed to bring it back to the pits and have it repaired, so after the second accident, I felt I had to try and bring it back again, as you don’t know from the cockpit how bad the damage is. At that point of the track, the kerb is really high and if you touch it at the speed you are doing there, you just fly over it. I hope to make good use of the performance level of the car in the race, to repay the team for all the work they have to do now. PS : Several hours after the end of the qualifying session, Sebastien got a 5-places penalty on the grid for having impeded other drivers after his accident. He was 13th on the starting grid.
