The two-time world champion said that at the urban Yas Marina track he experienced the suspension fairing, damaged from the second lap of the race, which affected his performance and complicated the race. “We will learn a lot from this and improve for next time, but overall it was a race to forget,” he added.

We see that the competitive order changes from race to race more more than ever. We will keep fighting. There are seven races left at various circuits with plenty of points to be won.
