More than a hundred journalists followed Hankook Director of Communication Felix Kinzer’s interviews with Hankook Motorsport Director Manfred Sandbichler, race engineer Thomas Baltes, and Hankook’s test and development driver Benoît Tréluyer. Numerous questions during and after the Meet the Team event made the first press conference a success.
