Ringmeister Guerrieri claims another Nordschleife win

"What a feeling it is to now be a two-time winner on the Nordschleife. Despite it being the Green Hell, this track has been very kind to me. There are so many different situations that can hurt you, so it's about striking a balance between being confident and not overdoing it. At the start I just followed the leader, and then I had an idea from last year's pole position in the wet of where I could make up time. I saw the other car braking early on the inside, so I tried to go around the outside. It was an intense, side-by-side battle, but a fair one and I got the job done. After that, I needed to make a gap before the Döttinger Höhe because the cars behind were good in a straight line, so it was quite an aggressive first lap. But once I'd extended the gap, and with experience of the opening lap, I settled down. It was mega - it was really brilliant to win here for a second time."

"For me, this sixth-place finish marks some really good points. We didn't want to take any risks, because we know that our race is tomorrow. We didn't have the pace to fight for much more; we were struggling a little bit with these conditions, so now the job is to look into the data to do a little bit of analysis - both of my driving, and in terms of the performance of the set-up. I'm very happy for Esteban and his crew, because they did a very good job and took the possibility presented to them - he did a fantastic move to take the lead. Now it's our turn to keep the focus for tomorrow, when we can hopefully replicate that result."

"It was a brilliant job by Esteban - a fantastic manoeuvre for the opening lap that I don't think anybody expected. We had no idea what the situation was going to be like on the Nordschleife - hard rain or no rain - so it was a bold move, but a calculated one as well. So well done to Esteban, he deserved it, as did his ALL-INKL.COM Münnich Motorsport guys. We are sorry for Attila because the incident was no fault of his own, so it's a shame for him. Nestor and Tiago scored some valuable points; now it's time to focus again after this celebration and do the same job tomorrow with Nestor."

"Esteban did an amazing race; it was a very good move and one he had to go for; I think had he not done it there it would have been difficult to risk it further around the lap. Nestor got some good points again, and it's great that Tiago got some points on the board, even if he was a bit unlucky with the wiper problem. Despite Attila's retirement - it was a shame for him that he got knocked off - overall it was a very good day for the Honda Civic Type R TCR. Let's hope we can reproduce this win one more time tomorrow."
