Quotes on the Hankook iON Race

Mitch Evans (Jaguar TCS Racing) – winner on Saturday: “Those were really difficult conditions for the tyres today. However, I cannot complain at all. The tyre was very consistent all race.”

Jake Dennis (Avalanche Andretti Formula E) – winner on Sunday: “The tyres were really okay. The heat made it more challenging after the first 15 laps, but we coped well and got the maximum out of the race. We are happy.”

Maximilian Günther (Maserati MSG Racing) – third on Saturday: “The tyre worked well today, even in these conditions with high temperatures and different surfaces. The key is to always keep the tyre in that window, in which it performs at its best. I did a good job of that. It became a bit trickier in the closing laps of the race, but I had everything under control.”
