ENVISION VIRGIN RACING
NICK CASSIDY (NZL)
“The team has been working incredibly hard all year, in the factory and at the track. The hours they put in are second to none. In this championship, it’s just really tough and I’ve had the luxury of being in group 3, group 4. Under no illusions, I’m just happy how things are coming together and the work we are doing there”
DS TECHEETAH
ANTONIO FELIX DA COSTA (POR)
"I'm really happy that we put in the hours of work last night before going home. The guys, all the engineers and mechanics made sure we were a little bit better today.

I felt like I was really strong but as soon as I got super close to the car in front, I struggled a little bit with energy"
