Iannone knew I was close, but when I tried to overtake him missed, it was clear that this was not my fight. Ultimately much has lengthened its straight line and I was able to overtake without problems, shortly after I crashed.

The good thing is that I have not done anything and that we had the advantage in general is very useful, now it turn the page. "
