It is a big push and I tried to be much cleaner. I really managed the tyres so I\u2019m quite pleased with the pace. Sorry for Taka, a technical issue is never easy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Elfyn EVANS<\/strong><br>\u201cIt was a clean run and the feeling was good in the car. All ok.

I wanted to keep my brakes and I had some used tyres in the stage. The whole chicane in the stages was gone and that was where I lost a bit of time, maybe someone found a shortcut. I drove through the whole thing really slowly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alejandro CACH\u00d3N<\/strong><br>\u201cI push. I take some risks but this is the moment.
