DE PASQUALE QUOTE

“Sunday at Tassie had some ups and downs for us, we’re struggling to nail qualifying as well as we want to. We moved forward in the races which is good, but we’ve got to try and start a little bit higher. We threw a fair bit at it for the last race and the guys did an awesome job getting all that done and the car was a significant amount better it seems so it’s given us some more takeaways and learnings going forward.”

W. DAVISON QUOTE
“Today was a very up and down day, but certainly we will focus on the positives. We’ve had our backs against the wall a few times, but we’ve dug ourselves out of some holes which I’m really proud of everyone for doing. To get a 5th this morning was a small little bit of reward for the hard work, we’re certainly seeing rewards in the pits, for all the hard work that the guys have been doing. We never use races at test sessions but at the moment we have to, and between the two cars we threw a huge amount at the cars this weekend. Some work, some don’t, but I feel like we learnt a lot and got some really interesting data, some really good direction which we’re excited to go testing now and see if we can take a good step forward before we get to Darwin."
