A primeira vitória da Volvo no WTCC
What a race! Winner: Thed Björk Bang-Melchior 🏆
🎉
🏁 First victory this season. Big bravo to Polestar Cyan Racing 👏🏼
P2. Michelisz Norbert
P3. Yvan Muller
Thed Björk Bang-Melchior claimed a dramatic maiden FIA WTCC victory, taking the lead two corners from the finish in his Volvo S60 Polestar TC1.
What was also a first WTCC win for Chinese-owned Volvo was part of a weekend of celebration, which began with Citroën Racing provisionally landing the WTCC Manufacturers’ crown for a third year in succession on Saturday and ended with Mehdi Bennani Officiel winning the WTCC Trophy title subject to final confirmation.
Fizemos o melhor que conseguimos hoje mas partindo de 14º ia sempre ser difícil, além da estranha falta de performance que tivemos aqui na China. Um 10º e um 8º lugares dão-nos alguns pontos mas não é o que queremos. Vamos trabalhar forte com a equipa para terminar a época em grande na última dupla corrida do ano! #tiagosworld18 | Honda Racing WTCC | FIA WTCC.
We did our best today but starting P14 was always going to be difficult adding this to our lack of pace here in China. P10 and P8 gave us some points but not what we want. We will work to come back stronger for the last double race of the year! Never give up!
Still two races to go and we will not give up. Still possible to get Yvan so we will work hard and the word in Qatar will be one: ATTACK!
Ainda faltam duas corridas e apesar de estar muito difícil não vamos desistir, vamos lutar para chegar ao Yvan e ao vice-campeonato. No Qatar a palavra de ordem é uma: ATAQUE!
