Carlsen said, “It’s been an incredible weekend, and I’m really grateful to come away with another victory and complete the double. Coming into Race 2, I knew it wouldn’t be easy because everyone was pushing hard, especially Kabilesh, who kept the pressure on in the early laps. My focus was to stay calm, manage the race and avoid making any mistakes. Once I found a good rhythm, I concentrated on building the gap little by little without taking unnecessary risks.”

Every adjustment we made gave me more confidence on track, and without their dedication this result wouldn’t have been possible. This isn’t just my victory, it’s a reward for the whole team.
