WEC – Quotes from the protagonists after the 8 Hours of Bahrain

Francois Perrodo: “I am over the moon. This is my third title with AF Corse and Ferrari, and it’s a dream come true. The season has been incredible with the win at the Le Mans and the championship with four wins out of six races. We knew it would be tough, especially after last week where we had less power. The title chase should have been with Aston Martin, but unfortunately that was short-lived as they had an accident at the start of the race. However, we wanted to finish as well as possible and we were aiming for a podium finish, but we never thought we would win the race and it’s incredible to finish almost half a lap ahead of the nearest second-placed rival. Our track engineer Leo came up with a formidable strategy with the right calls at the right time. It’s one of those races you dream about, so we’ll cherish the memory of every single moment because a new adventure in the LMP2 class will start soon.”

Alessio Rovera: “It has been a fantastic season and to win like this is incredible, the thrills are fantastic, difficult to express in words. Throughout the season we were competitive and fast. We are very pleased and ready to tackle a new goal next year.”
