Jake Hughes (16, GB, # I did not manage to get the absolute top results this time, but I'll learn the lessons. Above all, I have to learn from my mistakes in qualifying to have a better starting position again next time. So the races were not easy. And then I was shot down today by another driver. At least I got points on Saturday. I am sure that I will find my way back to my form of the first races. “

Keyvan Andres (21), IR, # 12), Space 21 and me and for the team. The racing pace was basically there and the development of the car continues to be positive. But in the first race it turned out that it is not easy to overtake here. And today I got an unjustified stop-and-go penalty in my opinion, so my race was over. “

Thomas Strick, Team Principal HWA Racelab: “The weekend here at Silverstone could have been better, no question. But I can not blame the boys. All three drove courageously, and sometimes mistakes happen. They are young pilots who will learn from it. I am sure that they will give us a lot of pleasure. Jake was unlucky today. He had to end his race without any fault of his own. In the end, as a new team we scored points again and that's what counts. “
