Jousse is confident for Donington

Julien Jousse has already been leader of the championship Formula 2, This year. It certainly only lasted a few hours, between the two Spa races, after taking advantage of a penalty against Andy Soucek. And, despite a difficult weekend at Brands Hatch (retirement in the first race, 9th in the second), the native of Issambres hopes to return to the head of the peloton. “ Of course, if Soucek continues to win races, it will be difficult, confides Julien. But I can still fight for the championship, it's not over! »

This Tuesday, the Formula 2 drivers were able to return to the Donington Park track, before really competing this weekend. Julien Jousse was thus able to appreciate this test session. “ I am happy with the work accomplished this Tuesday. We waited a long time for this day of testing. It was a great day and I'm looking forward to the weekend. We'll see how things go in qualifying but I know it's an important weekend in the championship. » Indeed, Donington Park, fifth of the eight rounds of the season, could seal the fate of certain drivers with a view to the final result. If Andy Soucek dominates the rankings, he is not immune to a return from Robert Wickens, Philipp Eng, or even Julien Jousse. But drivers who do not score points in Great Britain also risk losing their last illusions.

Disappointing at Brands Hatch, the Frenchman hopes to have a better weekend at Donington. “II was fast at Brands Hatch but made too many mistakes during qualifying. I crashed in the first race and left sixteenth in the second. Even if you are fast, one mistake in qualifying could mean the end of your weekend in terms of points. » But Julien Jousse feels confident before the Donington races, where he does not think he will be able to relive the same weekend as a month ago. “ I feel very good here. I'm very comfortable in the car and I'm very confident going into this weekend. » For the Frenchman, all that remains is to not make any mistakes during qualifying, before trying to win his first race of the season in Formula 2.
