Simona de Silvestro

“We’ve only had a couple days to get the cars turned around in between races, so we’ve been pretty busy, but I’m really happy to be here in Long Beach.

I had a pretty strong race last weekend in Barber and we had a good setup in St. Pete, so I think we can be happy with our starting point. We’re going to do our best and the result is going to come.”
