Hear from the team

Olli Pahkala, Bono Huis, Enzo Bonito and McLaren's Head of esports, Ben Payne look ahead to the series finale.

Olli Pahkala, McLaren Driver

"All in for the last round. Singapore and Germany are fun tracks to race.

"The field is tight, and the winner will be the man with the most focus on race day. Let’s do this!"

Bono Huis, McLaren Driver

"The last event was really disappointing for us, where basically everything that could go wrong went wrong. So we feel we have unfinished business and we are fired up to set things right in the upcoming races.

"The four tracks are quite a challenge in terms of tyre management, so it’s not going to be easy. But it should mean the races will be quite fun!"

Enzo Bonito, McLaren Driver

"Obviously, it wasn’t the result we were hoping for last time, but we learnt a lot and I think as a team we’re coming back stronger.

"We’ve been really focused on training, as we know the last tracks we race are going to be challenging ones. We’re all a little nervous heading into the weekend, but we’re ready to give it all we’ve got."

Ben Payne, Head of esports

"The previous round was tough on the guys - problems outside of our control cost us serious points.

"But the boys have bounced back from disappointment admirably, and we’re looking forward to all three driving hard this week to try and do well in the final four races. Bring it on."
