“We didn’t test here so we were a bit behind the 8-ball but we made the right changes with the DHL car, and I think we put a good effort out today. I was hoping to go one better at practice and be P2 but starting third is somewhere we can work from tomorrow in […]

“We just have to keep the momentum going – last weekend was a huge weekend for us, but we’ve got to keep it rolling. The points are going to be so valuable, the competition is so close, the competition is so tight that you can’t really afford to give up much as the season rolls […]

“I was hoping for more – but I think that’s the speed the car has it in. That last lap killed us a little bit, I was really aggressive with the tools. I had a good balance with the car, my engineers told me we had wind pick up on our last lap. Only in […]

“We’ve just been struggling with the balance all day – we call it disconnected – the car is loose in and understeer through (the turns). Unfortunately, we just missed the balance today in qualifying. The two cars in front of us were two-hundredths of a second quicker and two-hundredths of a second faster would have […]

“It’s really been tough today to stay on top of the track conditions – they’ve been changing a lot. It feels more like an oval out there where the wind changes just a little bit and you have to adjust your driving style to it. It’s a lot of fun adjusting to that. We kind […]

“The DHL guys did a great job with the car and they deserve better. We had a front row car here, and we’re starting seventh. The drive through penalty in qualifying isn’t something I really understand, and once we got issued that we didn’t have time to warm up the tires and set a new […]

“We thought we’d be a bit better than eighth. We’ll have to go back and look at it, we were a little bit conservative with our run. The track conditions really improved from earlier today so it’s interesting. We just didn’t get everything out of it. But tonight’s practice is, I think, the most important […]

“I’m a bit disappointed, obviously being sixth in the Fast Six. The conditions were tricky out there with the runway strips and the paint. We just didn’t get the most out of it. We had a big moment in Turn 1 at the end [of the session] and came up a few tenths short. It’s […]
