Bez was obviously happy with the great performance: “I did half a lap with my eyes closed – he told Sky Sport – I’m very happy, the day started well and now we’re enjoying it, but we continue to work. The pace is good but it’s never enough, we still have to understand something about tire wear but up to now we’ve worked well”.

“I thank all the fans and it’s nice to see all the stands full on Saturday. The helmet dedicated to Zanardi? It was a wonderful idea and I wanted to because for us he was an incredible man in terms of sport but also in terms of values for life”.
