DRIVER QUOTES - Emil Frey Racing
Thierry Vermeulen (The Netherlands)
"Brands Hatch is one of my personal favourite circuits and in the past, we have achieved podium finishes there and have always shown good speed. I'm looking forward to it because it's a short, technical track that suits our Ferrari."
Ben Green (Great Britain)
"It's always a great feeling to race at your home circuit and I'm looking forward to kicking off the Sprint Cup at Brands Hatch. It will be great to have some family members at the track and I hope we can get the season off to a good start - just like last year!"
Konsta Lappalainen (Finland)
"My expectations for Brands Hatch are always high because we have done very well there in the past. I think that will also be the case this year. We are better prepared for the season than last year, especially thanks to the great and extensive winter tests."
Chris Lulham (Great Britain)
"My first race weekend in the Sprint Cup will be a fast and packed weekend at Brands Hatch. I'm looking forward to starting the season and already feel very comfortable in the car. It will be my only home race this year, but it's also my first time on a GP circuit, so I need to learn and adapt quickly!"
