We caught up with Morad after the race here is his comments on the race.
Daniel Morad:
I was very happy with the pace. Obviously, I can’t control things like pit stops or other issues but I could control driving the car and I just pushed like hell! Faster than the winner of the race by 1.4 seconds so can’t say much more. Fastest lap of the weekend. Track record. The only thing that was missing was a safety car. Came out of the pit lane 1 minute and 12 seconds behind the leader. Closed the gap to 27 seconds at the checkered flag.
Thank you very much, Dan for the comments on the race we hope that this will develop into a full-time drive for the next races.
