Into the points again in France ///

 10.07.2018

David got into the points again in the prestigious 1000 km of Paul Ricard. A really positive results, considering that was not the best track for Mercedes cars, which is now the third consecutive finish into the points and into top 10.

Despite some struggles in qualifying, with only a 21st place on the grid, David took the start and put on a great show with some fair battles, giving back the car to his teammates after 2 hours and a half in 12th position.

Then Fraga and Tambay kept recovering, crossing the finish line with an impressive 8th place, thanks to a brilliant strategy from Strakka Racing as well.

Third consecutive finish into the points which give a big boost before the big one at the end of July: the 24 hours of Spa Franchorchamps.
I'm very happy with this 8th place, on a track that saw us disadvantaged compared to other brands. We suffered a lot on the straights and in the race it was hard to overtake/defend. Finishing in the points continuously in a championship so competitive is a sign of a good constancy and work, we will try to continue on this path
