24.11.2024 05:11 20 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's okay, the pressure is gone, we know what we are fighting for with the team. All weekend I struggled with the rear, now with the hard tyre was a challenge. In these stages it was good speed, so let's enjoy it.
24.11.2024 02:11 19 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The last couple of races have been challenging, with everything to lose and nothing to gain. We had to manage it, but now I am enjoying it. I got a better balance now, I was able to push a bit more. In the very dirty section, we took it calmer because we want to get to the end.
24.11.2024 00:11 18 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Honestly, it came like surprise. I don't know what to say at the moment but I think we deserve it. Very challenging year, very tough. Obviously much more pressure than we needed, especially for this last event. We knew there was risk and we managed it. We are happy now, we are a bit more relaxed now, so we can push harder for the manufacturers because we want to go home with all the trophies. There is not much to lose, we will go flat out, go for the manufacturers, everyone wants that title too. I will do what I can to make the car faster.
24.11.2024 00:11 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was okay, I saw some interesting lines in front of me. Sometimes it puts me into aero because the line I saw was faster than it was. It is getting a bit more dirty with leaves in some places, the grip was okay but it is the first time I am not first on the road and in these conditions I don't want to take risks, so we had a clean run.
