Quotes from the podium finishers in Race 1

13 June 2026

Santiago Urrutia, 1st: “I’m very happy for my team, and also for myself. It’s been a long time since my last win. Sometimes in racing you need to be lucky, but also you need to be there. I’m happy for my mechanics and my engineers, it was a good day in the office to me. We just need to keep going, as it’s only the third race of the championship.”

 

Thed Björk, 2nd: “It was not an easy race. I slid on the inside into Turn 1, and touched Yann a little bit, and so it was not the start I expected. Then there was a big fight throughout the race. We were concerned when Ma and Yann stopped, as this was the first time we’ve run this car in such a hot temperature. I’m happy and lucky to be second after what happened, and there’s still two more races this weekend so let’s see what happens.”

 

Aurélien Comte, 3rd: “It was not easy, as the track was very hot. Luckily for me I could manage to save the front tyres, and it was a lucky day for me. I don’t know happened to Yann and Mikel, so I’m sorry for them, but it was good for the team and for me. Our pace was good, so I’m happy. It’s not easy to overtake here, especially with the high temperatures, so the key is to make a good start and that’s the race here.”
