Veijer emphasized a patient approach to his career, focusing on consistent points rather than immediate podiums. "If you only focus on a podium, it won't come," he said.
"We are working hard to get it right and it is going in the right direction."
He reminded that he is only in his second year in Moto2, while many competitors have four to six years of experience.
"It would be nice if everyone gave it some time," he added.
Fellow Dutch rider Zonta van den Goorbergh qualified 20th for the race. He has scored points in his last three races and is optimistic about his progress.
"The last three races I have taken points for the World Championship," Van den Goorbergh said.
"We are not where we want to be yet, but it is going in the right direction.
We are now fighting for positions between 15th and 10th, and that should become between 12th and 8th, and then towards the top positions."
He credited his two new technicians for helping him improve. "That has taken some adjustment, but now it clicks very well.
It helps me become a better rider on the track."

Van den Goorbergh noted the tight competition in Moto2: "Everything is extremely close together. Maybe there is still an outlier this year."
