In the first phase of the initial FCY, we unfortunately had no opportunity to make a pit stop due to an unfortunate decision by race control. Despite that, we were doing very well at the front and consistently drove between P1 and P3. Until minute 38 of the race, we were still in contention for the championship title, but another FCY allowed Ferrari to move up and unfortunately take the crucial points we needed to win the championship. All in all, however, it must be said that it was an absolutely satisfying season. With the win at the N\u00fcrburgring, 5th place in Spa-Francorchamps, and finally P2 here in the 6 Hours of Jeddah race, we can truly say we had a wonderful and exciting racing season. We always gave our best, and with the vice-championship title, we must and can be proud! A huge thank you goes to Mountain Wolf, as well as Lamborghini, and of course to our drivers and the entire team.

Having Mountain Wolf with us was truly special \u2013 it was a perfect match!
