“It was hard. Seb kept me honest the whole race and there was never a moment where I could stop looking in my mirrors and I had to keep him under control. This momentum and these days are so rare and I know how hard they are to get so I’m so happy that they are coming to me right now. I think day-by-day everyone is just going to get closer and closer so I’m expecting it to be tough the next few races.”

“The race was closer than I thought. I was unlucky with the first ATTACK MODE as there was a Full Course Yellow and I lost the advantage – that would have probably of changed things. I had to overtake Lucas and wasted some time there, but in terms of pace we weren’t too far off – today we have made a big improvement.”

LUCAS DI GRASSI (BRA)
“Today’s race showed us just how high the level is. Before we had maybe three of four teams fighting in the first two or three seasons but now it is pretty much everybody. I’ve been fighting Seb [Buemi] since Season 1 but now everybody has a very good car and drives at a very high level. Every team is very professional optimising everything so it is very, very hard to get to the podium so I’m very happy that I finished third.”
