Eugenio Franzetti, DS Performance director: “We’ve finally reached the closing stages of this intense Season 9, which has been filled with plenty of positive emotions and learning experiences as well. We were thrilled with JEV’s victory in India, Stoffel’s pole position in Sao Paulo, and the podiums in Cape Town and Berlin. But we’ve also had some difficult moments, which we will capitalise on to enter Season 10 in an even stronger and more solid way. London will give us the chance to end the season with some good results and finish on the podium in both championships. We’ve worked hard for this and will do our very best to achieve that goal.”
