Thomas Couyotopoulo, Sporting Director of Racing Engineering: “We finished today's race with mixed emotions, on one hand Fabio, who started 23rd, had an amazing race with a very strong pace, overtaking several cars in great manoeuvres to finish in a fantastic fifth position. Nat, on the other hand, was very unlucky in turn 1 of the opening lap as other cars came together and he could not avoid contact with a damaged car stopped in the middle of the corner. Nat came into the pits straight away to quickly have his front wing changed and showed an incredible pace throughout the entire race. It is overall a disappointing result for us this weekend, considering that both drivers and cars were performing very well and external factors kept us from scoring more points.”
Fabio Leimer: “Today's race was really great. I had a good start and I got through the accident scene in turn 1 quite well. Then I was able to manage the tyres really well and make up positions. Towards the end of the race I still had a very good pace and was able to move all the way to fifth.”
Nathanaël Berthon: “There are times when luck becomes a very important factor in motorsport. I was so fast in both races here in Spa and could do nothing to avoid what cost me so many points. Throughout the entire race I was quicker than the others, and towards the end of the race my lap times were so significantly faster than those of the rest of the field. I know so much was possible not only yesterday, but also today.” |
