“I really want to thank everyone! The team did a really great job preparing the machine, and the people at Yokohama Tire prepared great tires for us. I am so grateful to everyone. Until now, car No. 19 (also running on Yokohama tires) has won numerous pole positions, so I came to this round thinking that it was now our car No. 24’s turn to get one, so I am really happy that we did. Until now, we had finished the qualifying in 2nd position a number of times, so with this first personal pole position at the age of 30, I feel like I have finally come of age (laughs).”

“Everyone on the team worked hard to set up the car so well that it was a real joy to drive. I think we had a very good qualifying. But rather than getting the record for most pole positions, I’m more concerned about tomorrow’s race. I want us to go from here to try for the win, and to give it our all so that we can show everyone that the BZR is a winner.”
