Enea, I must say that it is a beautiful story. It started very badly 12 months ago here, 2023 has been very difficult and look today: pole position and second place on the podium, again...
Enea Bastianini : “Yes, I'm really happy with this race, especially because after last year here, after this big crash, it's important to be back on the podium; an incredible feeling. At the start I was a little nervous, I made a few mistakes during my first 3-4 laps, but after that it was a very good race. Jorge's pace was really fast. Each time, when I was a little closer, he pushed a little more and pushed me back a little further. Maverick was also very fast, but in the end I don't know what happened on the straight. Well, it's another podium, it's a good second place at the moment, but I can be happy. »
