“On Saturday, I had a good start but than lo🍨st two positions💛 because of an incident ahead of me. 

“I was stuck behind a Mercedes, I trie♊d to overtake but it was impossible and when we came to the pits for the driver change, I touched it slightly, puncturing the tyre and having some more damage, as we had to retire.”

Vervisch said: “Very happy with the result in Race 2 ꦆafter a disappointing qualifying session and a difficult Race 1. It’s the best result for us in a Sprint, here at home for Vale.

WRT Team Principal Vincent Vosse said: “I am very happy for Vale, who takes his best result🌟 so far in front of his fans.”
