Alex Caffi – Team Manager:
“After the great weekend at Brands Hatch we are definitely motivated for this fourth round of the 2019 season and being able to count on the experience of an ace like Christophe Bouchut will be an added value that will push us to give once again our best. The potential of the cars is there and we will try to exploit it to the full even on a track like Most, which is quite demanding for drivers. You will need good set-ups here to let the cars run even on the most driven stretches”.
