Jay Penske – Owner and Team Principal
‘This was a perfect race day for DS PENSKE. Max, Jev and our entire team delivered an absolutely superb performance today — I couldn’t be prouder. Securing pole position and locking out P1 and P2 is a true testament to the dedication, precision, and hard work everyone has put in, both at the track and back at the factory. I would like to thanks everyone at Stellantis and DS Automobiles for providing the team with such a high performance car.
We’ll celebrate this moment, but we’re already focused on carrying this momentum into the next round!’

‘What a day! Qualifying couldn’t have gone any better and starting from pole obviously gave us a good advantage. But of course we knew it would then be a long race. All the planets finally aligned and we were able to win in style! I’m very grateful to the whole team. This one-two means so much for all of us, as it’s the result of a lot of previous hard work, as well as all the different processes we have put in place.’

I’m also very proud of the team for all the work they have done. It’s a really immense privilege to live through times like these.’
