gullI already knew the Maserati team given the links created when I raced for Mercedes
“I stay in the same family since I have the same frame as with DS Penske”, Stoffel told us. “But the stable is different. It’s very good that I continue in FE with Maserati. They are based in Monaco, which is very good for creating a good working environment. I will be able to get to the factory more easily and be in the simulator since everything is based there. We have very good guys, even if the team has changed since the Venturi era. I already knew her from the links created when I raced for Mercedes. It is not obligatory to be in an official stable to perform.”
The Jarama tests were encouraging for Vandoorne but on the sambadromethe former FE champion remains cautious, the cars having received some developments this year.
-“Tires will be a big talking point this weekend. Maximizing tire degradation will be key to the race. With the new car, Attack mode with four-wheel drive will shake up the strategy and there will be a lot more “overtaking opportunities which will make the races really exciting to watch.”
It remains to be seen whether Stoffel will float on the waves like Neptune or whether he will be skewered by the trident of Modena.
