Aki Ajo – Team Manager:

Pedro had a really strong race and again gave an example of the smartness that he has shown during the season. Conditions were not easy during the weekend but Pedro handled the situation in a very smart way during the race. I would say he nearly pushed to the maximum, but in a clever way. That’s really good for us in the championship, but on the other hand we need to remember that the season is very long and we still have many races to go. We need to focus on things race-by-race. Albert started really well and was consistent from Friday, but unfortunately difficult wet conditions he had a crash and his starting position in the race wasn’t good. In the race we made some progress but we have to analyse why we dropped off at the end. In any case, we got points with Albert as well, so now we are looking forward to the next race.

#37 PEDRO ACOSTA

The last 4 laps were tough, but we’re happy with the result. The goal at the end of the year is going to be to get the most out of every situation. It’s our fourth consecutive podium; we haven’t had the pace to fight for victory but perhaps we could have challenged for second place. We have regained the series lead, it is another good result for us and now it is time to move on and think about the next race. We are going to be competitive in all situations, we have solved several aspects that we had pending, and I leave Silverstone satisfied.

#75 ALBERT ARENAS

We faced today’s race wanting to have a good fightback. We had a good first part of the race, although we lacked a little in the second part. After a difficult weekend due to the conditions, we were able to gather information and we are going to work to improve things for Austria. It’s an important Grand Prix for the team and we want to do our best there.
