Jeremy Clarke, Trofeo Pirelli Winter Challenge winner: “Abu Dhabi is always awesome, it’s a flowing track, tonight I’m really enjoyed the race. It was a really fun race. I like the challenges under the lights, during the evening, it’s something special. My goal for tomorrow? I’d like to follow up with another victory”.

James Geddie, Coppa Shell Winter Challenge winner: “In Abu Dhabi I found a professional atmosphere. Race 1 was a tough challenge, but the car’s set-up and the strategy were great, even the pace was great”.

Yudai Uchida, Trofeo Pirelli Am APAC winner: “I’m happy to have won the race and secured the title this year. I felt some pressure before the start, but my strategy was to be out of any crashes or mistakes. I’ll approach Race 2 without any pressure. Which has been my favourite race this season? Maybe the track I love more is Suzuka, but I can’t forget two Ferrari’s ‘cathedrals’, Imola and Mugello”.

Kanji Yagura, Coppa Shell APAC winner: “It was a perfect race for me, for this I’m really happy tonight. I love this track”.
