PIT: Lovely Stuff! P8! P8!
ALEX: Yeah! Yeah! Well done everyone.
JAMES: Well done, Alex. Tricky conditions.
JAMES: I think there were moments where we just weren't quick enough and then as it dried up it got into those grip conditions you were flying at the end.
JAMES: Lots to learn but I'm looking forward to Spa where we take a step again.
ALEX: Yep, yeah, well done James. I think we're struggling a bit there on the Inters, but it came alive on the slicks.
