In the end, he finished the race in the 20th place.
after the game, Bastanini said, " (For today's results) I was only half happy because there was no doubt that we had a very exciting game, but if there was a better starting position, I think it would be helpful for the results, not a little bit now (difference from the championship), even if (improving) the two starting positions would change the results. But no matter what, I am very happy: we deserve to be happy about this result, we have a good speed, have risen a lot, and have some points, so that we are still in the world championship competition, and before the end of the season, everything (competition) continues. Now we will go to Malaysia , and we will do everything well, starting from Saturday. "
Ginantorio said, " It was really a shame because we found a good racing setup and showed it's competitive in the first three laps and also had a good start. Unfortunately, on the fourth turn of lap 4, the opponent hit me and brought me to the grass, and then, the (my) race was over… … ”
