Another podium for championship leader Stoffel Vandoorne saw him extend his lead in the fight for the title. After the race, he spoke to GP2Series.com.
"I think the overall result of the weekend was really good. We’re equalling our results in Bahrain and Barcelona. In terms of points, it’s been a really good weekend for me. The race today was good: I had a really good start. Immediately after the first corner I was in third place. I was in a position to fight for the victory. At the beginning, I was waiting a little bit to see what was going to happen. I didn’t want to kill the tyres although degradation is very low here. I saw Markelov pushing really hard on Haryanto in the beginning."
"I was watching the fight from behind because I know it could get very close between them and it did at some point. Markelov tried to launch on the inside at turn 3 and went into the gravel bed putting me into P2. I tried to push on Rio for a couple of laps but there was never a way past him. I was never in a position to get close enough to put a move on him. I felt the pace of the car was really good today again. I felt I could do a bit more maybe… It’s almost like this second place feels a little bit disappointing."
"Of course it’s a really good weekend result for me and also for the team. I mean, it’s great for the championship so far: first and second. We just have to keep focused on what is next and try and do the same in Silverstone."
