“It's very difficult to find the words to explain how I feel. It was an epic day, I feel really lucky. The Red bulls really made me work hard today and for that I am grateful. The weather was treacherous for all of us. What a day! Coming to this beautiful country with English weather and being faced with a similar challenge. It was hard to see ourselves out there, And equally easy to make mistakes. There was a lot of pressure on the last lap because the red or yellow flag could have been waved. The risk was high, but I gave it everything. A big thank you to my team for making all this possible, to the guys here and to the factory, for all your support."
