I still need to adjust my riding style with regards to running the worn tyres, but on the whole, it was a positive day

As a rider, it's a bit boring because I had to wait a long time in the garage because with everything being new the engineers have to adjust a lot of things along the way, but finally we were able to try several solutions. Let's see if tomorrow we can continue improving and make the most
