Quotes on the Hankook iON Race from the top three

Jake Dennis – winner: The tyre worked very well, better than I expected. We must obviously all get used to the new tyre. It was tough, particularly in the cooler temperatures this morning. However, it was very consistent in the race.

Pascal Wehrlein – second place: The tyre worked superbly on the track. It was good when it was warm, but we had to find our way in cooler temperatures, as we did with regard to configurations, set-up and the tyres. All in all, it was a great start to Gen3.

Lucas di Grassi – third place: Last year, we had issues with grip at the end of the race here in Mexico. In contrast, the new Hankook tyre was very consistent and worked superbly.
