Raúl Fernández is working diligently to resolve setup issues with his Aprilia after a challenging 15th place finish at the Argentina GP. He feels positive progress is important for future races, specifically aiming for improved performance in Texas and readiness for the Qatar GP.
Raúl Fernández has been diligently collaborating with his technical team to address setup issues with his Aprilia following a challenging performance at the Argentina GP, where he secured a 15th place finish. He views the upcoming Qatar GP, occurring after the Americas GP, as a critical point in the season where he anticipates being in prime condition to demonstrate his capabilities.
Fernández remarked on the extensive efforts invested with his engineers and crew chief, stating, “In the end, we spent a lot of time with the engineers, with my crew chief and with my data engineers trying to find a solution. Yesterday [Saturday] I left around 21:30/22h00 and that was when we tried to find the change in setup.” This dedication showcases his commitment to improving performance.
The emotional aspect of feeling progress after a difficult race weekend is also significant. He noted, “For me, it’s important because after a very difficult weekend, you finish the race not in the place you want, but you feel that the bike is doing what you want. It’s important for the future.” Such sentiments indicate a determination to strive for improvement.
Looking ahead, Fernández has set specific objectives for the subsequent races, acknowledging, “It’s true that I’m not 100% ready and we need to work a little more in Texas. Certainly, in Texas it will be better, but the thing is that in Doha we have to be ready, and I think this is the objective.” This focus underscores his commitment to preparation and performance in the upcoming competitions.
In summary, Raúl Fernández is focused on enhancing his performance with the Aprilia team following a difficult race in Argentina. He acknowledges the need for improvement as he prepares for the crucial upcoming races in Texas and Qatar. His commitment to working closely with his technical team reflects a positive attitude towards overcoming challenges and achieving competitive readiness.
