ANTONIO FELIX DA COSTA
“Coming here with six races to go, the fight for the title is on and the pressure is rising. I do really want to win and if we keep doing things as we did today, we have a good shot at it. Hats off to the team not only for what they did today, but for the hard work they put into the build-up to this moment. I moved here because I wanted a quicker car, since I want to put myself in a position to win races.”

ANDRE LOTTERER
“Second place is a good starting point. But I have some mixed feelings about missing the first ATTACK MODE activation, as it put me in a difficult position. I had a good car and maybe without that slip I could’ve challenged Antonio for the win. We’ll keep working hard and hopefully the car will continue to be as good as it was today.”

“I’m very pleased with the team and the result. It’s been a bit of a rocky year for us and hopefully today will mark a restart of the season. Also, I’m a bit disappointed for not finishing in second, but I was low on energy in the last couple of laps. There’s still some work to do on the car, but we have a good base ready for tomorrow.”
