"The main priority was to win the manufacturers' title this weekend and I have to say a big thank you to the team because we couldn't do this without their hard work. It wasn't so easy to be honest. I had to push really hard all weekend – Ott was really flying. He was very consistent and didn't do any mistakes. We had to do a perfect rally to beat him."
