Ingvar Mattsson, second place in Coppa Shell Am: “I have to be very satisfied because I dropped some positions at the start but, fortunately, I managed to recover and finish the race in runner-up spot”.

Maurizio Pitorri, third place in Coppa Shell Am: “This is my second round in the Ferrari Challenge and my debut at the Valencia circuit. In the wet I managed to hold on to first position but, not knowing the car perfectly yet, towards the end of the race I found myself in some difficulty and was overtaken, finally finishing in third place. Tomorrow I will try to improve.”
