Come to Japan with the intention of winning , because I think we have to continue with the same attitude that we are having this season.

Here have been all that we had to win the championship . Now we have to keep working hard in both races we have left and give the maximum. It's a shame what happened but we must continue to improve and continue the line of work we have so far. " AXEL PONS 24th " I made a mistake in the braking for turn ten I went along .
