Driver quote

Felix Rosenqvist: The two guys right behind me gave me quite a lot of push today. When they told me on the radio that Dani Juncadella was more or less on the same lap time as me I had to really put an extra gear in and risk a lot to do my lap. I’m happy with that. The preparation has been fantastic – the same as we always get with this team, even though Macau is such a difficult circuit. I''m really happy with the car.
