Krasonis: “It was a chaotic race, I’m very happy for the victory”

Thomas Krasonis in his statements immediately after the race was over stood on the dramatic on-track development. “At the start I looked in my mirror and saw that I was under pressure, but I managed the situation and stayed in the lead. After a while I looked in the mirror again and saw no one near me. At that moment I was informed of the red flag. I wish my teammates involved in the accident a speedy return to racing.”

He added: “After the restart I did exactly what my coach, Alon Day, had told me to do, which was to protect my position, watch my race and soon created a gap sufficient to give me the win. Despite the two FCYs, I was not actually threatened. We pushed until the end to secure pole position and we did it on the last lap. I’m happy with the win, we’re going strong. Unfortunately we couldn’t make the podium and the PRO race. On Sunday we will give everything to be on the podium again.”

And he concluded: “Many thanks to my sponsors, Costamare and Dodoni, the Medical Center that offers me medical services, my team PK Carsport, my coach Alon Day, Paul Timbas who is responsible for my physical condition and of course all my mechanics”.
