Binder’s Post-Race Thoughts

Brad Binder, 10th in qualifying, 7th in Sprint:
“Much better than yesterday. We went out with the best setup we could find and built from there. It was good to get through Q1 and give it a go in Q2. The Sprint was tough because of the heat, but the grip was much better than last year. I would have loved to finish further up, but we’ll keep working and fighting for more pace.”
