“I guess everyone saw the result of the 24 Hours of Daytona. Yes, I'm still totally disgusted. I had to dig deep within myself during this final stint and I tried everything I could, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough.
Opportunities to win big races like Daytona don't come around very often, so when they do, you have to put it all on the line."

A sign of respect between the two men who defend common interests, those of the German brand. « The battle I had with Mathieu was exceptional. I have absolutely no hard feelings. Our piloting was muscular. But both with 100% passion.
The only thing that makes me happy today is reading all the comments from racing fans around the world, celebrating our duel and describing it as one of the best of all time. Congratulations Mathieu, his teammates and the team of Porsche No. 9. It was an honor. »
