01’54” Interview Pierre GASLY #10 (FRA) Tech 1 Racing (in FRENCH) “It’s true we’ve had some difficult races, there was a tough period around Moscow – I was very happy to take my first win, then the next day I got zero points after a clash with Oliver.”

02’10’’ Interview Oliver ROWLAND #24 (GBR) Manor MP Motorsport (in ENGLISH)

“We started off not so good in Motorland but then we had a good run through Spa, Moscow and , winning 3 races. I’ve been on the podium at least once at every single weekend, and certainly Paul Ricard was really good – starting 19 th and finishing 3 rd , pushed Pierre quite hard. I’d like to be here with a big advantage but that’s motorsport…”
