The Italian, who will start second in Saturday's sprint but will have to fight his way out of fifth place in Sunday's race, hit out at the penalty after qualifying, saying:"It's one of the greatest things I could do today, starting in the front row. "We know our pace is very fast, so I think if we can lead in the first lap, we have a good advantage."
