With his fastest lap of the weekend so far Jack Miller qualified 17th for this evening's British Grand Prix.
The Aussie ace posted his quickest lap of 2'01.672 to go almost one second faster than his best time in Friday afternoon's impressive FP2 session.
The 5.9km Silverstone Circuit is fast and flat, featuring a challenging series of high-speed curves with Miller posting a top speed of 324kph on his Honda RC213V.
Miller admits that a couple of small but costly errors cost him crucial time in qualifying after making positive set-up changes that point to a strong race performance.
“I just didn't put it all together when it counted in qualifying.,” he explained. “I felt like I had good speed and my second run had the potential to have me further up the grid but I messed up the first sector and then ran a little wide in the final part of that lap."
"On my second run I had a bit of shake coming off turn two and ran off the track. My lap times are consistent but 17th on the grid is not ideal, I needed to do this time on Friday to get straight into Q2 but I'm feeling comfortable for the race.”
