FIA WTCC - Curitiba, Race quotes
ROUNDS 9 & 10 RACE QUOTES
Andy PRIAULX – BMW Team UK, 8th in Race 1,
1st in Race 2
“Qualifying is so close this year you can have a good
car and be 19th or 20th on the grid. I was pleased to be at
the front of the second race because it looked a bit crazy
back there. Gianni (Morbidelli) was very quick and passed
me in the first race and then I was in 8th place and I knew
I couldn’t afford to make a mistake. Jörg was behind
me so it was pretty tough. The second race was even tougher
because I made a break and was getting into a rhythm before
the safety car. Then after I got a good re-start I thought,
‘Phew!’ but it happened again. At no point did
I think I had the race won because it was one of those races
where you could easily slip back.”
Jordi GENÉ – SEAT Sport España,
1st in Race 1, 14th in Race 2
“We had a very good car, SEAT did well in qualifying
and overall it was a good weekend because we scored important
points. The second race was a bit too crazy and I don’t
think it was a suitable standard of driving for a world championship.”
Peter TERTING – SEAT Sport Deutschland, 2nd
in Race 1, 6th in Race 2
“This weekend has been really good for me. The first
race was fun and I had success in finishing 2nd behind Jordi.
In the second race I had a better car and was faster but due
to the disruptions I was unable to push forward. The next
race is Mexico and I won there last year so I am optimistic.”
Gianni MORBIDELLI – N.technology, 7th in Race
1, 1st in Race 2
“Am I happy? Absolutely. It has been a fantastic weekend
for me and I have to thank Alfa Romeo. It is pleasure to be
here and at the top again after some years. I hope to stay
in podium positions for the rest of the season.” Augusto
FARFUS – N.technology, 3rd in Race 1, DNF in Race 2
“I’m very happy because to race at home is a pleasure
and to finish 3rd and score points is great. The second race
was frantic and I had an accident which put an end to my race.
I think the event and track here could be improved but we
must remember it was the first visit from the WTCC and people
have learned a lot. For me and Alfa Romeo it was a good weekend.”
