N.M :  “This will be my first time in LMP1. This is a very exciting opportunity that Lawrence Tomlinson has given to us to compete in the Ginetta-Zytek car and especially at Silverstone where I have had three victories. I hope that reliability will be there and I hope to have fun!” 

LMS: You follow your son Leo on the Le Mans Series rounds since the beginning of the season. What do you think of Le Mans Series?

N.M:  “I like the ambiance and the competitiveness of the Series. It is run professionally and all the races are very exciting to watch. I think that a six-hour race is a good balance and a lot of things can happen. I am here watching Leo, and I am impressed by Team Modena. Ferrari means a lot for me and I am pleased to be back working with them.”

LMS: What about driving with both your sons?

N.M: “This is the first time ever that a Formula 1 world champion and his two sons enter the same race. I am not sure that it will happen again! Leo won't compete in the same class, but I am delighted to share the wheel with Greg.”
