Gabriel Aubry (Tech 1 Racing): “I am beginning to really like this track. I had already won here in F4! After my first complete season in Formula Renault, I gave thought to quitting before I pulled myself together and worked with the team and a mental coach to regain my confidence. It took time, but the results have followed. I want to thank everyone at Tech 1 Racing for giving me a chance to comeback with such a competitive car. It is wonderful to bounce back like this! It has been a fantastic week with the two wins in NEC and a perfect Sunday in Budapest. Last year, consistency wasn’t my strong suit, so I am overjoyed to have kept this momentum going. All the work put in over the winter with the team is paying off. We scored 62 points this weekend, which shows we are back!“

Max Fewtrell (Tech 1 Racing): “It is good to be back on the podium this morning in winning the rookie category. This success is satisfying following a difficult weekend in Monaco and a complicated Saturday in Budapest with my accident in Q1. It was far from an ideal start! I put a nice move on Yifei to take the victory, but I must work much harder to step onto the real podium!”

Yifei Ye (Josef Kaufmann Racing): “After missing out on the rookie win several times, it is not so bad to be on the podium his afternoon even though my main objective is to be among the top three and not behind them!”
