“My expectations for this weekend are very good. Similar to other race weekends, I have been spending my time preparing myself for a good performance on track. We’re coming in with a good pace as we showed in the first two races in the year and I’m happy about the work that everyone has been doing within the team.
We’re second in the championship, and I’m going to push as hard as I can to get a good result at Mid-Ohio. This is a new track for me, so I’m very excited about the challenge.”
