“Lot of red flags, lot of brutal crashes. This was really tough qualifying practice. The track is better than last year, but it still slips a lot. I don´t remember so much highsides during one session. Unfortunately the last red flag brought lot of complications to us. It became in the moment when we had started to push hard. In the last eight minutes we were able to get faster, but only in last two laps. And it wasn´t enough. Fifth row is not good, of course. But the most important thing is to adapt to the specific condition of Indy track.”

“We tried lot of options to improve grip of the bike, but the track is very slippery. There were three hard crashes during the qualifying practice. We have the same problems as anyone other. The track has no grip and it´s very hard to find ideal setup. The positive thing is that we are going faster and faster each session and we haven´t seen problems with tyres like last year. Karel feel good on the bike, but the feeling is not everything. We will try some other options tomorrow, but it´s obvious that it will be really difficult race.”
