Stoffel Vandoorne neemt het op voor zijn nieuwe concurrent: "Elke laatste tienden uit de auto perst"

Vele fans zagen Robert Kubica volgend jaar graag terugkeren in de Formule 1, maar het werd uiteindelijk Sergey Sirotkin, die het laatste beschikbare stoeltje in de Formule 1 greep. Stoffel Vandoorne begrijpt de keuze voor de Rus door Williams volledig.

"Williams maakte een erg goede keuze", zegt de Belg tegen La Derniere Heure. "Ik heb tegen Sergey gereden en hij is een erg goede en erg snelle coureur die hard werkt. Hij is sneller dan menigeen wil geloven."

Williams technisch directeur Paddy Lowe is het daar helemaal mee eens. "Het is belangrijk dat een coureur elke laatste tienden uit de auto perst en ik kan je vertellen dat Sergey erg slim en erg snel is", aldus de Brit.
