This is for sure a race weekend that won’t serve as motivation for the future for Brad Binder who is already looking forward to race ‘anywhere’ other than in Austin. Looking at Jerez, the rider believes it will be better, recalling some trouble he had with the bike.
After a complicated round, the south african was asked if coming to the next GP, in Jerez – one of the best of last season – can serve as a good way to bounce back, saying: ‘Right now I’m happy to go anywhere. To be honest it looks terrible on paper but things weren’t that bad and we will be back where we normally are next week’.
As for the strategy, looking back, the #33 added: ‘We had a tough one out there. We have been playing with the setup quite a lot, trying to find a good balance but I think we played a little bit too much this weekend. We made crucial mistake at crucial parts of the weekend that didn’t helped us here’, and added:
– The bike pulls to one direction, especially on the straights it is quite unstable and you have to counter steer a lot and when you lose the whole rear wing you don’t have the downforce to set the bike up for. It’s really tricky to manage after that.
