Richie Stanaway
Driver profile“It was a solid weekend for us. We didn’t have the best start, which was frustrating, but we managed to capitalize on a few mistakes and incidents from our competitors. Overall, our strategy and car speed were really good. We need to find that tempo in qualifying. It’s disappointing, but as long as we feel like we are learning and making progress, that’s what counts. Our focus now shifts to Townsville.”
