Bagnaia joked about teammate Miller: “I won’t pay anyonꦦe! Anyone can be my t♏eammate for this race.

“It is difficult to do a strategy becausꦏe it is imposs﷽ible to predict what will happen.

“Maybe in the first two or three laps I have to take risks ✤so I can then manage.

“I just say [to the team] that if Fabio is close to me, or behind me, then [the Ducati team should tell mꦐe on the pit board] and then I will decide what 🦂to do.”

Bagnaia said: “My thing tomorrow is not to win - just be calm, understand. I will take risks at the start to get a gap. Bﷺut then just be smart.”
