WEC – Drivers’ comment after 6 Hours of Bahrain

Sakhir, 30 October 2021 – At the end of the penultimate round of the World Endurance Championship, held at the Sakhir circuit in extreme conditions due to high temperatures, we heard from the drivers involved in the race.

Miguel Molina: “The race was very tough, especially because of the heat, but we did everything we could. We had an excellent pace, and this is something to build on for the 8 hours. Even though the conditions will be different, I think we have a good base to start from, and we will have to exploit it to get a good result”.

Daniel Serra: “It wasn’t a very entertaining race, and we did the best we could. In fact, I think we had an excellent outing, with good pace”.

Nicklas Nielsen: “It was a good race even though we were unlucky with the Full Course Yellow just after our pit stop, which lost us positions. However, that’s not why we didn’t make the podium today. I think it’s pretty obvious that the BoP was not balanced. We had no speed, although the car was very nice to drive. I hope something changes because, despite a good points margin over our rivals, it won’t be easy to run an 8-hour race like this”.

Alessio Rovera: “It wasn’t an easy debut on this circuit, but despite the ballast, we knew we had to give our all on the race pace. Our Ferrari performed well, and at one point, we were in the podium positions, thanks also to the team, which supported us throughout with a strategy that allowed us to climb right back up in the first part of the race. An unfavourable Full Course Yellow didn’t help us, but we are happy to collect the points won at this 6 Hours. However, we know that everything will be decided in a week at the 8 Hours, which will be a great battle and also includes a night-time finale.”
