The stunning result was good enough to bring the team from P16 in the championship to P7. Through a strategical masterstroke, Leonie Bossard was able to overcut the other drivers during the race, starting from P7 to go up to P3. The only cars ahead were Max Verstappen's MILO Malaysian Junior Team Car and Marcello Letizia's Midland F1 Car.
We are looking forward to continued success in the WRS and the growth of the team until then, see you next time!
