Pole, victory and the fastest lap at Assen. It was a really great weekend. From the first free practice session I knew I had the speed to win and, after a bad start, I was soon looking for a good moment to take back the lead.

After the first race of the season, at Hockenheim, I was hugely disappointed to find out that I had been injured and I didn’t know how long it would be until I could race again.

But at the same time, with the help of the best ever healthcare specialists, Hintsa Performance and my own doctor, I was able to come back stronger. It’s because of you all, I’m back behind the wheel. Thank you

Ultimately, I’m so glad and so pleased to be back racing – and winning.

As we say in Finland, if you want to win, hire a Fin.
