Giedo thrilled with victory at Monza

Giedo van der Garde has won the opening race of the season on Saturday afternoon at Monza. The P1 Motorsport driver had to start the race from P8 and managed to work himself towards the front of the field. With a five-second lead in the end Van der Garde was never really under any pressure to take the chequered flag.

Speaking about the opening race of the season Van der Garde said: “What a great race! It all went extremely well. At the start I had a bit of wheel spin but I managed to enter the chicane in fifth. In the second lap there were two drivers in front of me flying off so I took third. In the second half of the race I was clearly faster than the guys in front of me and managed to finish first with a five-second lead in the end. It’s something I’m really proud of obviously!

“The weekend in Monza has been great so far. Qualifying pole position on Friday and winning the race on Saturday is fabulous. I will start Sunday’s race from P1 so things can only get better here!”
