“It was definitely a solid weekend of Daniel,” Judges will signify in conversation with Motorsport.com. “Together with Monza, it was his strongest weekend with us. This was probably his best weekend so far, on a track with different kinds of corners. I am very happy that he was able to put together such a weekend. As He’s so strong that he managed to keep Carlos behind him throughout the race. He was under tremendous pressure, so I’m happy with that.”
McLaren and Ferrari in battle
