However, as the track heated up under sunny skies, he struggled to maintain his rhythm in FP2 and was unable to find a lap time to crack the top 10. Taka remains confident, though, and is still targeting a place on the front three rows of the grid.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Takaaki Nakagami \u2013 14th<br \/>\n(1\u201947.483\u00a0\u2013 lap 17\u00a0of 19)<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>\u201c<em>It\u2019s difficult to say what tomorrow will bring, because today was a bit of a struggle, especially this afternoon. FP1 in the morning was ok, but when the track temperature rises it\u2019s a bit of a struggle to find the grip and also our strategy was to use the soft tyre to find a lap time, but I made a little mistake. So we\u2019ll try to be strong tomorrow, I think it will be very important to make a lap time in FP3 and try to get into the top 10. If we can get into Q2, our target will be to get on to the third row, so that\u2019s what I\u2019ll be aiming for.<\/em>\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t<style
