Round 1 of the new Season was a fantastic and rewarding weekend at Red Bull Ring. First race weekend with the new race car Dallara F320 and racing for my new team “Franz Wöss Racing”. We showed improving pace throughout the different sessions and were competitive in both races. Variable weather conditions including rain in the free practices limited the testing time, but overall it was a very positive weekend collecting valuable experience and some championship points.
