TOM'S RACE REVIEW
“It’s been a tough weekend for us but I think we can be quite positive about our performance on race day. It was unlucky for Stoffel with the crash but we knew we had the pace to fight back through the field. To come from the back of the grid to within touching distance of the podium is a great effort as we worked our way up to 3rd within the first couple of hours. Sadly, an unlucky safety car then cost us a lap and meant the podium slipped away. Our focus now turns to the big one at Le Mans - we’re all so excited to get there, it’s going to be a really exciting weekend.”
