Coming to Portugal to race is fantastic as I am a great fan of the country and the weather which leading into the race weekend soared into the mid thirty degrees proving fitness to be very important. I came out to Portugal two weeks before the race for a holiday and some heavy training to get used to the heat.

Going into second qualifying I knew Gabriel had more pace than me so the idea was to get as close as possible and if I could out qualify him then that would be great. After pushing for many laps I did not improve much on my lap time from the last qualifying session so in the end was 2^nd place to Dias who was 1^st and I was 24^th overall. Again I was only 2 places behind which meant the job for the race would be easier.
