Ad FIA ETCRFIA ETCR driver Filippi: I know Sachsenring from MotoGP, and that’s it02/09/2022 AT 11:25 How would you assess your first season as Team Principal for Romeo Ferraris in FIA ETCR?It has been a very demanding one so far, full of events and emotions that haven’t made it easy at all.

At the same time, I love big challenges and this is definitely one of them. We had to build a team at the very last minute this year and I have to say I’m very satisfied with the people who are part of it today. We have achieved many good results, even if I do not hide that we expected even more.

Unfortunately, luck was not always on our side, but the potential is there, we have a fast car and still mathematically in the fight for the drivers’ title. As a manufacturer, we have lost many points already at the beginning of the season, overall due to crashes, which made impossible for us to fight for something even more important. What’s the most challenging part of the job?I think the most challenging part is to choose the right people to have the best possible team, including mechanics, engineers and drivers and keep them motivated and focused in front of the difficulties.
