Mario Spiniello words:
"The race went very well as qualifications. In the last round I could improve, but I made a mistake during a lap and I compromised the qualification.
In the A-Main we chose a strategy that did not include changing tires and was going out for the best. Unfortunately we had some minor technical problems that we have lost six laps. Anyway, the new NT1 2014 proved to be very competitive! I am very happy and ambitious for the European Championship.
Alessio Forte words:
The new NT1 has behaved very well indeed. I have not had any problems with the car.
Unfortunately, in the A-Main the tires were worn out earlier than expected and we had to change them.
