Hexis Racing McLaren make it a double at Navarra
Fred
Makowiecki (FRA) and Stef Dusseldorp (NLD) in the Hexis Racing McLaren
MP4-12C completed a double success at Navarra with a comprehensive win
in the Championship Race.
The
Hexis No.1 car’s success in the main event was every bit as convincing
as the previous day in the Qualifying Race crossing the finish line 12
seconds ahead of their
nearest challengers.
The double race win also enabled Makowiecki and Dusseldorp to take over the lead of the drivers’ championship.
Hexis
team boss Philippe Dumas was delighted with the result after a
difficult start to the season. “It is great for the team to win both
races this weekend,” he said.
“We
have had problems but we have fought hard to get to this point and
everybody involved with the team deserves this result. My young daughter
asked me to bring home the
trophy and I am very happy to do it.”
The
ALL-INKL.COM Münnich Motorsport Mercedes SLS AMGs were second and third
– Marc Basseng (DEU)/Markus Winkelhock (DEU) leading home their
team-mates Thomas Jager (DEU)
and Nicky Pastorelli (NLD).
For
Basseng, the key was the quick turnaround at the pit stop. “It is a
great result for me as a driver and as a team manager,” he said.
“The
team did an awesome job at the pit stop - that was what got us ahead of
the McLaren (No.2). Then I don’t know how Thomas (Jager) held off the
McLaren towards the end
but he managed it and ensured we achieved the maximum result we could
today as a team.”
The one-two elevates ALL-INKL.COM Münnich Motorsport to the top of the teams’ standings.
