“Of course I feel bad for the collision. I saw the space and decided that should try. In the third corner is always tight. At first I thought I can do this, but then I blocked the wheels and do not fit into the rotation. When I was in the area of safety, there is a kind of panic, I tried to lose as little time as possible. I turned back and went”, — quotes Riccardo Motorsport.
