He was very happy with the results of this race. Indeed, he had difficulty overtaking the racer in front of him at the start of the race. According to him, team performance and vehicle performance as well as hard work before the race is the key to victory.

"In the last weeks we tried very hard and in the end it was hard work that won today's race. But, overall I feel all very good. I hope there will be good results also in the last races," he expressed.

Meanwhile, a racer from the Avalanche Andretti team, Jake Dennis admitted that both the qualifying round and the race this time were very influential and tight. For him, Pascal Wehrlein is a racer who cannot be taken lightly.

"Of course, we also saw that the race was very tight from the start and finally working hard against Wehrlein was also a high-risk one, so we took a safer position. He put up a lot of resistance and throughout the race we kept trying to keep up the good work. For tomorrow, we hope for the best results," he added.

Meanwhile, Max, who had been in first place in the race this time, admitted that the leading position was very good in terms of maintaining victory. But that is not the case today. He said it was very difficult to face racers like Wehrlein and Dennis.

"We hope to get and produce a good performance tomorrow. Tomorrow's race will be very different and even more challenging with the additional two laps," he finished.
