Driver’s view: Simon Trummer in Austin
Hot – that’s the first word that comes to mind when I think back to Austin. It was a torturous six hours for both car and driver, it was consistently 40°C in the cockpit. I am very proud of Oli and myself, as it was left to the two of us to take our not-so-easy-to-drive P1 car […]

Friday’s free practice sessions, most of which took place in wet conditions, went pretty well. We seemed to be able to […]
