Commenting on his victory, Edoardo Mortara, Driver, Mahindra Racing, said, "It was a clean race, it is always very stressful towards the end to manage, as you are trying to hold the position, especially when you are leading the race. It was a bit unfortunate, the last 10- 15 laps, as I was not able to keep up with the lead and could not utilise the attack mode. In the end, everything worked out well, and I am very happy with today's result."
