“In the main race visibility was even worse than in the previous race in Malaysia. When Jonny Reid made a braking mistake, I took the lead. Unfortunately the car handled very strangely on the second set of tyres and I slid off the track once, so we changed again, but a power wrench got jammed in the process. Towards the end I decided to play it safe and follow Jonny across the finish line.”
Team principal Willi Weber was also satisfied with his outfit's presentation over the weekend, meaning the German entry has now scored in eight out of the ten races held so far.
“Congratulations to Nico on his sensational performance,” he said. “He was fantastic in the rain yet again and, despite a problem with the power wrench, he finished as the runner-up.
“Before the race we promised to give a rebuttal to our critics on the track, and we managed to do that. We even doubled our advantage over the British team in the standings. However, that's no reason to be more defensive in the sixth round in New Zealand in January – on the contrary, this result will motivate us to fight for victory again.”
