SERGIO GARCÍA DOLS – 11th +1,261:

“I was a little far back at the start but I took things calmly and I gained positions until I reached second. However, with 4 or 5 laps to go, I noticed that something was lacking for me. The positive thing is that I finished in the first group and added 5 points to my tally.”

RYUSEI YAMANAKA – 20th +8.457:

“I’m finding the start of the season difficult. Starting from 27th position makes performing a comeback hard. My pace was not all that bad, but it is a shame that we finished 20th, since it was not what I had expected. I can’t take many positive things away from this first GP, but I am still learning day by day in order to improve.”
