“The last event was really positive for us. We scored some good points in all of the races and managed to gain quite a few places in the championship. So we are looking to end the season on a high again, and try to keep a strong position in the standings.
"The three tracks this week are all quite difficult and challenging in their own ways, but we feel ready and we are confident that we can bring in some good results again.”
“We felt really positive after our performance in Round 3, but this year the competition has been really tight and this means that we can’t be too complacent.
"Of the three iconic tracks, Suzuka is one that really allows you to show your driving skills. We’re leaving nothing to chance – we’re putting in the hours and doing loads of preparation.”
“The final event concludes my third year in F1 Esports. This year the field has been the most competitive by far - especially given the 2019 game.
"We achieved a mega comeback a month ago and like last year, I’m hoping for nothing less than top five finishes on the last three races and maybe the podium.”
"Very pleased with the points haul from Round Three, which I believe was only an appetier for the finale.
"Jumping from P8 to P5 in the standings just proves that we have taken steps in the right direction and personally I would love to close the season with a series of podiums."
