We’ve already had a successful test and some simulator sessions and I feel very comfortable in the team and can’t wait to finally start a race weekend with them."

The first test already showed that he has a really good speed, so I think Alex has a big potential for a successful race weekend in Hockenheim", explained Gerhard Ungar.
