My NT1 worked really good during all weekend managing the TQ and Win. In 1/8 everything was more than perfect. I started the final in 2nd place fighting with Simon for the 1st place and I overtook him in the first refuel with the faster refueling on the pit lane, after that I started slowly pulling away from him until he his engine stopped and I had a comfortable win until the end. I'm really surprised about my cars and how they are working so well. Can't wait for the next race to drive these great cars again.

Race report by Alessio Mazzeo
First big race, first big test. Very hard track layout and very difficult track conditions. We lost one test day to the rain. In qualy I was always fast but I have done a lot of mistakes because I didnâ™t have much feeling for the track. In Q1 I closed 2nd behind Bruno; in Q2 I have flipped after 8 laps and I finished 10th. In warm up practice we have changed the set up a bit to find more stability. In the final I started with number 8.
We were really fast but after 3 laps in an overtake maneuver I have flipped and I was last. I have pushed for the whole final to recover the gap. I also had a flame out at the second tyre change. I have changed all 4 tires 2 times. But neverthless, we are arrived in second place behind Bruno. Iâ m realy happy for the result of the new car, and really happy for both Bruno'victory. The work of this winter is bringing its fruit.
