In Their Words

Jérôme D’Ambrosio, Team Principal, ROKiT Venturi Racing

“The performance that we showed throughout the first three races was very promising. In the gap between races we have taken the chance to examine our data, identify that issues that we faced, and implement solutions to be as ready as possible for this weekend. Rome is a circuit that we have performed well at in the past, last year we showed that we had the pace to contend for the podium. In Rome we return to a conventional street track layout so overtaking will be challenging and qualifying well will be even more important. If both Edo and Lucas can progress to the duel stages, we should be in a good position to threaten for more points and contend for the podium in both races.”

“It feels like a long time since Mexico City and I’m looking forward to being back in the car this weekend. Rome is a circuit I enjoy - it’s a city with great food, great people and a great atmosphere - it’s also my home race so it feels even more special for me to race there. Racing in front of a home crowd is a unique experience and there are few feelings in motorsport that can match the energy of your home circuit. In the first three races of the season, we enjoyed some strong performances – if we can qualify well in both races this weekend, I think we could be in a good position to maintain our current momentum.”

Lucas di Grassi, Driver, ROKiT Venturi Racing

“For me, Rome is a really interesting track to race - it poses a unique challenge in terms of driving so I’m excited to race there again. I finished on the podium there in 2018 but a drivetrain problem last year meant that I missed out on the win which was very frustrating. Although it’s still early in the season we know that we have a strong package that can contend for podiums and victories and as a double-header event, we have two opportunities to score points this weekend. As always I have very high expectations for myself and if we can extract the most from the car in qualifying and start inside the top eight, we can challenge for more podiums.”
