“I couldn’t be happier with this weekend and with my great car. The team has done a great job and I’m proud to have made the most out of it with three wins. I had good starts and restarts and every time I managed to pull away from Robert, which was important. I can’t wait to be back on track for the next round at Red Bull Ring!”
