Sam DE HAAN, driver #30: “A very strong weekend overall for Calan and I. I think the only downfall was quali today for me, I didn’t really maximize the potential. But, in the races we executed everything pretty perfectly. I’ve got to say the pit stops were perfect, we gained so much time in the stops so I’m really happy with that. We stayed consistent and ended up near the front. Car was great, Team was great, happy days!”
