TOM'S WEEKEND REVIEW
“The Qualifying times were super tight on Saturday and the final classification could have seen us much higher up. P17 was a tough result, but my race start was very strong. I made up a couple of positions with a good first corner, but then got hit from behind at turn 6 and broke the track rod again, so that was a shame. Then you obviously have to repair it and lose a few laps, so that was my race done really. It was then important to collect data to try to learn a few things, but overall it was a hard day!
“I think Sunday was a really good day in general for the team. We had a great result in Qualifying with our third Super Pole appearance of the season; it was a good lap and P5 on the grid was just reward for all the team's efforts over recent weeks! We knew that the race would be challenging, always looking in my mirrors, but it was clean, we managed to stay out of trouble and use the Attack Mode at the right time. I did drop out of the points, but thankfully for me it all kicked off in front of me on the last lap and I was able to nick position back so that was really nice. It was a good way for the team to end the weekend, so thanks to all the girls and boys in the team who have worked so hard all season.”
