The Pikes Peak record holder set the record again this Saturday evening by improving his performance by 1''2 with a time of 39''9, relegating Nick Heidfeld's old record on the McLaren MP4-13 signed in 1999.

“I am rather satisfied, confided the Alésien who will have a new attempt this Sunday. I was able to get a good start. I attacked and gained a lot of time in the last three corners. We were hoping to do a time of 40”6 before this attempt. We will be able to approach the last attempt with more serenity. »
