“Celebrating a podium finish in front of my home crowd has been incredible. We’ve had a tough start to the season, with three difficult races where I wasn’t able to achieve better results. The fact that we’ve finally achieved it here in Jerez makes it even more special. As for the race, I tried to push when I was in the lead, but I knew Quiles had something more. The final laps of the race were really frantic, but we managed to stay focused and take home an important second place and our first podium of the season!”

2nd

“It’s been a very tough weekend right from the start. We had a difficult start to the race today, but we managed to fight our way back up the field bit by bit. When I was in 15th place, trying to catch up with the group ahead, I crashed at Turn 9. It’s a corner I’ve always found a bit tricky here at Jerez, and what happened was that I braked a little later than usual. We tried and gave our best until the end today. We have an important test coming up, so our eyes are already on it ahead of Le Mans!”
