QUOTES

Rob Huff (1st/11th): "I am of course absolutely delighted with the win in Race 1. It was really the perfect race. Yesterday I said I wanted something in the middle between a wet and a dry race, and that's exactly what we got. At the start, Monteiro went wide to fight with Nic, clearing the way for me. It was easy to pull away, as the car was handling perfectly in the wet. I just tried to stay focused and not to overdrive in order to preserve the tyres, as I knew I would need them when the track would start drying. The 6-second gap I could build up was clearly useful at the end of the race, but except for the three final corners, I did not feel much pressure from behind. In Race 2, I had a good start, could pass a couple of cars and run sixth for a while, but then my tyres got really bad and I simply tried to hold the guys behind me as much as I could to help my team-mates in front."

Nicola Larini (7th/2nd): "I took a good start in Race 1, but lost the advantage of being in the first row when Monteiro pushed me almost off the track in the first corner, which left me in seventh position. Afterwards, it was difficult to maintain the pace, also because the tyres were not that great. I ran together with Rickard for most of the race, but in the closing laps it was difficult to resist to the Seats and the Alfa. In Race 2, starting from the first row with Alain, I was able to take the lead and keep it almost until the end, although I really struggled not to destroy the rain tyres in the dry track. I could hold Alain, but not Rickard, who was on slicks."

Alain Menu (8th/3rd): "Given my position on the grid for Race 1, I took the risk of putting slicks on. It was hell for two thirds of the race, very very slippery, but with the track dry I could go pretty fast, gaining ten seconds with respect to the gap I had after lap 1 and scoring also the fastest lap. Eighth position was a nice reward for the effort. In Race 2, I realized since the formation lap that it was a mistake to race on wet tyres. But all in all, I am satisfied with my results and it is an incredible week-end for the team."

Rickard Rydell (9th/1st): "The two races were completely different for me. It was a little bit frustrating for me to finish ninth in Race 1. I think I could have gone for Monteiro in the early laps, but I didn't want to push too hard. Race 2 was a different story. It paid off to take the risk of putting slicks on. In the early laps I was able not to loose too much time with respects to the guys on rain tyres, I think that is where I won the race. I am really happy to win at home and I thank Chevrolet and Eurosport for this great opportunity."

Eric Nève: "This is really a wonderful day for Chevrolet and the whole team. For the first time, we have won the two races, showing we are extremely competitive in terms of performance in all situations: Qualifying, Race 1 and Race 2. I find also very meaningful that the Lacetti has so far won in all circuits new to the Championship: Zandvoort, Pau, Porto and Anderstorp. Today's result also shows how important it can be to have an additional car in the grid. We can only be very happy for the team and our brand."
