00:00We're in Lausanne, first round of the FIA WEC, and it's race day, so starting P11 and
00:10P13.
00:11Obviously now we start with warmer conditions, but we know it's going to cool down through
00:14the night.
00:15We have a car which can go on both conditions, even though we are missing a little bit of
00:19pace.
00:20But yeah, let's see how it goes.
00:51So the first two hours of the first race of the season are in the books.
00:55It's a bit messy, honestly speaking, out there.
00:57We already had some incidents.
00:58We are one lap down at the moment, but we hope we can catch up.
01:04But we've got a tyre issue, a tyre puncture, so we had to pit.
01:07The positive is that the car feels quite good.
01:09We are maybe able to fight for a top ten, but yeah, let's see, still a long race to go.
01:52Car six is a lap back.
01:55It's not what we aimed for, it's not our goal, obviously, but we had at the beginning a couple
01:59of punctures, and that's what brought us to that position.
02:03We are still fighting, and we try to push more and more and more forward.
02:14P11 for us, P10 for sister car after a very long Qatar race.
02:18Disappointing after winning last year.
02:21We went through a little bit of everything today.
02:24That's P10 and P11 for both cars.
02:26We were looking good at some stages, but unfortunately we had a few setbacks, a few issues.
02:31A lot of new things, a lot of things learned from this weekend, so I'm pretty sure we're
02:35going to come back stronger in the next one.
