QUOTES:
“This is a good result as we didn't expect to have such a positive race, specially after a difficult start of the weekend. We executed a very solid race all along with good overtakes on track and a fast pace, specially with the hard tyre once I cleared the cars ahead. Charles also had a very good Sunday and I'm happy for the team. We'll definitely arrive to Monza with a high spirit and I can’t wait to race in front of our tifosi!".
