Ben Hanley, driver of the n°21 Dragonspeed Oreca 05 alongside Nicolas Lapierre and Henrik Hedman, is now sixth in the drivers' championship but victory in Estoril could allow him to finish 2016 as vice-champions.
What are your thoughts after your first victory this season last month in Spa?
It was a great feeling to win an ELMS race especially at Spa, a fantastic track. The team did a great job with the strategy and this put us in a very strong position to go on and win the race.
With 57 points, you are still in the race to be vice-champion, how will you approach the Estoril race?
We will approach the race as we always do, not underestimating our competitors and ready to work hard to achieve the best possible result.
What do you think of the Estoril track?
Well last time I raced in Estoril was 9 years ago and I have been out of racing for 5 years so it almost feels like I'm going to a new track again. Maybe ask me again on Sunday after the race!
Can you tell us what your 2016 season review is?
The season isn't over yet and, as you previously mentioned, the championship is very tight for the last podium place. So far it's gone ok, but I'm still learning a lot.
