ROKIT VENTURI RACING – ERHAN JAJOVSKI
“I managed to create a bit of a gap at the beginning and thought that would keep Rasmussen away but towards the end he was really aggressive on track. He must’ve saved energy at the beginning and he was right behind me in the last few corners. I’m really happy with P1!”
DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT – FREDERIK RASMUSSEN
“Qualifying was good with P2. Into T1, I only wanted to secure my position and not gain any damage. Then I started saving energy and got the fastest lap. I tried to attack towards the end but I didn’t manage to overtake Erhan and had to settle with second.”
BMW I ANDRETTI MOTORSPORT – KEVIN SIGGY
“I’ll take it. It’s not the win that I wanted but P3 is still a solid result and brings me points to move to second in the standings. Qualifying could’ve been better if it weren’t for the final corner. Hong Kong is very challenging and everyone is super quick on this track and I’m struggling with it. I’m happy with a podium finish in the end and will do my best to get a better result next time.”
