00:00I love coming back to Daytona, it's always a new event when you come back, even though
00:22we won it last year, my goal is to go win back-to-back, that will make it even more
00:26special, we're going for the win again.
00:44We definitely worked on the car, trying to improve, the temperatures are quite low, a
00:49bit lower than what is normally the case in Daytona, so we need to find the right tyre,
00:55tyre pressure and set-up accordingly, try to find out everyone likes, between Mats and
01:01Mathieu and myself, try to find the best compromise, the best car for the three of us.
01:22The process has been good, last time I was in Wrexley was at Petit-les-Morts where we
01:26took the championship, Wrexley felt just as good in Daytona now, some fine-tuning, obviously
01:31we learned some stuff throughout the whole year, last year and now coming back to Daytona
01:35with the same team, obviously we can use that well and I hope we're going to have a fast
01:39car on Saturday and Sunday.
01:52We are starting P7, not what we hoped for, but now we will try to analyse everything,
02:12hope we find some more pace and in the end it's a long race.
02:18P3 on the board, like the changes we made on the build-up to qualifying, now it's time
02:23to fully focus on the race set-up, any practice session that we have now it's fully focused
02:27on the race until it's race time.
