New Car, New Season, New Skills
"I had a very up down weekend in Istanbul but I wasn't surprised, my main focus was to learn the car as much as I could as I had never driven it before. In the wet I was p3, but in the dry we have some work to do. I was 8 tenths off in qualifying but only 1 tenth off in the race. In my first race I moved up from p20 to p8, and if I finished there I'd have started race 2 on pole, however my fuel pump failed half way through. This meant I had to start race 2 from the back. Race 2 was a bit more difficult and I made my way up from p27 to p19, tyre degradation was high! I learned a lot and the car was good, I will be stronger in Barcelona". Luchiano Bacheta (2011)
