DRIVERS QUOTES
'Another very good race today. I was fortunate at the start that I was able to get a gap to the cars behind, and then it was all about being consistent in my lap times. A great day, but I'm a little sad that it's all over as it's been fun and great to support the UNICEF Covid-19 campaign. Hopefully, some time soon we can get back on track for real and I'm really looking forward to that. It would be great to carry on this form. Thank you to everybody for their support, and I hope to see you all soon.'
'I finished P5 today so it's my best result for the series in the last race. I'm quite happy with that. Good job from Oli to win again, and a good team effort overall. It's been tough, I had to start from the beginning in sim racing and learn a lot. But, in the end, I got better and better, and I qualified much better in the last two races. Overall, I'm really happy with the experience, and now I can't wait to get back to the real racing, hopefully soon. I hope everyone enjoyed the sim racing action.'
