Now or never for the Spaniard, “very happy for the three podiums in three races, with a victory,” he says.”Today’s [race] was very hard fought, having to pass many cars on the track when going longer in the strategy, returning to the attack at the end, but it went well with the new hard at the end and I was able to pass…
