Two weeks later, the last stop of the 2022 season will be held in Valencia, Spain, a key battle for Bastanini's total third place in the year. After the
race, Bastanini said, "I'm very happy because 20 points are important to continue catching up with the top three of the year. But at the same time, I was a little disappointed because when I ran to the front, the situation changed a little, and I felt a little different about the racing. (Next) we will analyze the data to understand what happened. And what is important is that we (in this race) once again proved that we are one of the top players in this level. We will work hard to end everything in Valencia in the best way (of the 2022 season)."
Ginantorio said, "I have a good start, although in No. 1 I kept my position in the lap, but I quickly realized that compared to the leader of the competitive group, I had insufficient traction and (the situation) too bad. In the competitive group, I fought for the top 15, I tried to get this result, but unfortunately, I lacked the feeling of the (racing) front end and eventually fell. Now, let's focus on Valencia (the next stop). "
