Berman: I want to finish the season on a high note.
Oliver Berman scored points in five consecutive races and arrived in Qatar in good spirits…
Oliver Berman: "Since new parts were fitted to the car in Austin, I feel much more comfortable, although even before that we had a decent run. In Mexico we finished 4th, in Brazil 6th, in Las Vegas 12th — and we managed to move up to 10th.
The race in Vegas was a good indication that even on a bad weekend we can fight for points. Yes, we were lucky to score points, but the circuit did not suit our car, and in terms of strategy and my feeling for the car the race didn't go our way. But despite all that, we finished very close to the points, and ultimately scored them after rivals were disqualified. That makes me optimistic ahead of the two final rounds of this year.
In my debut season I have learned a lot: how to use speed at the right moment, make the right decisions, and weigh the level of risk. And I am glad that in the second half of the season everything is going well. That means I am heading in the right direction. And I want to finish the season on a high note."
