"I had a pretty good start in the qualifying race and tried to gain some places - I think we got two at the start which always gives you a bit of confidence. We were running third there for a while, but the traffic out there is crazy. It's definitely a little difficult to navigate early on when everyone is packed up. To be honest it's what's going to make or break your race, there is so much time to be gained and lost. It's crucial to be smart about it because any mistake there is costly. For my first start with the team, I was happy with how it went and hopefully I can keep getting better and better and more comfortable as we head into this weekend.”
