“Yeah, for sure, I think that’s what we needed after some tough rounds where a few things went wrong and not quite our way. But I think the pace was always there. I mean, of course, it makes‍ it a lot easier if you are in the top 12 after quality. I think we had the opportunity today to win, and we took it. ⁢So very happy with that.”

Tramnitz emphasized the importance ⁣of the win after a series of difficult races, highlighting the team’s consistent pace. He acknowledged⁤ the advantage of a strong qualifying position and the opportunity to capitalize on⁤ it during the ⁢race.

“It⁢ was a ‍bit more difficult, because I thoght at‍ the beginning ‍about⁤ tyre‍ saving quite a lot, but it seemed⁢ like, because on the ⁤Soft ⁣tyre, we don’t have so much experience. The characteristics of ⁤the ⁢tracks are⁤ very different. so this is pretty⁣ much the first time that it’s a normal track so we don’t have ⁣so ⁣much data⁢ on the Soft tyre. and it’s always a bit of a surprise. ‍And I realised at some point that I can ⁢push quite a lot, and then I ⁤started⁣ pushing. But without a doubt, the DRS games are always a bit tactical⁢ around here.”

Tramnitz discussed the challenges of tyre⁤ management, particularly with limited experience on the soft tyre compound at Monza. He noted the importance of adapting to the track’s characteristics and utilizing the DRS effectively.

“It must be the target. I mean,⁤ if I⁤ want to have a ⁢chance to finish second, I ‍have ‍to go for it and I will ⁤tomorrow. so I think I was second for quite a long time. Like I said, the last races were a bit tough for us, and we had a lot of⁢ experiences which weren’t nice. But conversely, we ‍also learned a lot of things,‍ and hopefully we ⁢can put it all together also tomorrow in the Feature Race.”

Looking ahead to the Feature Race, Tramnitz confirmed his intention to push for second place in the championship, acknowledging the 10-point gap to Mari Boya. He expressed confidence in the lessons learned from recent challenges.
