FINAL CLASSIFICATION

COLIN TURKINGTON

We’re looking good and it’s all set up nicely for tomorrow! The front row is where you want to be but to be honest I wasn’t sure where we would get to today. Everyone is fast!

It was a busy session out on track today. We’re not just driving the car now, we’re thinking about hybrid, traffic and plenty of others things in the mix too. It’s a challenge but that’s what we love.

It’s great that we start the season at the sharp end of the grid and today was a super result for the Team. Hat’s off to Jake, he’s fast, but that’s good, that’s what we need a team. We need to be pushing each other on. I’m feeling confident with the car, so let’s see what tomorrow brings.
