Honda frenzied with joy: "The car and engine was clearly strong here"

Masamitsu Motohashi is very happy with Pierre Gasly's victory at the Italian Grand Prix. Honda's top man finds it difficult to express his feelings after the second victory (after Max Verstappen's at Silverstone) for the Japanese engine manufacturer this season.

"I can't find the words to describe how we all feel about Honda after this great victory," Motohashi said.

For the Faenza based race stable and Honda, it was an unexpected victory over Monza. "It's incredible to win here at their home Grand Prix. Congratulations of course to Pierre, who has been a Honda rider for several years. We have worked hard together and this is the best possible result", the Japanese continues his story."

After the red flag, Motohashi got the feeling that beautiful things could happen. "Then I personally felt that we could reach the podium today. The car and engine was clearly strong here. My thanks go to Pierre, Daniil Kvyat, the whole team and everyone at Honda for all the hard work, not just this weekend but the last few months."
