What she said:
“It was a Sunday that we had high expectations for, but we had problems with the front left of the car and we will only find out what happened later. It was a race without safety car intervention and I found our race pace very weak. But the weekend was positive, two podiums achieved and we are back well in the championship. Now it’s eyes on Le Mans”.
