“I PICKED UP THE PIECES,” SAYS ROWLAND
Oliver Rowland said that he picked up the pieces after coming through from ninth to win the final round in London.
“It was amazing,” said Rowland to TNT Sports. “Starting ninth in today’s kind of race we would never have expected to win, but it was a crazy race.
“I picked my moments in the early parts of the race and then when I got to fourth I didn’t want to get involved with the title fight.
“I was waiting and hoping that something would kick-off, which it did. I managed to pick up the pieces and win the race.”
18:45
‘COURSE DIDN’T SUIT CAR’
Tag Heuer Porsche driver Pascal Wehrlein says that the London course didn’t suit his car despite coming away with the world championship title.
“It’s really awesome,” said Wehrlein. “The race was hard, I knew I had to attack and get in front of the Jaguars.
“I think Mitch (Evans) defended quite hard, but I still tried to overtake and pass. I don’t know what happened in the end and it was due to the safety car that it got quite close with the attack modes.
“We knew that this weekend was the days that we needed to be super-focused and concentrated and out-perform what the car can do.
“This has never been a track that suits our car, we did that. We showed some great pace. It’s not expected (to be world champion) but I always believed in it.”
