Eduardo Mortara said after Sunday's race win he completed one of his best races ever. The Italian won Sunday's race at Pau and extended his lead of Mika Mäki who failed to score any points in Pau.

The Signature team driver, who won the F3 Euroseries rookie championship last year, powered from seventh to first in Sunday's race and moved into a 14-point lead of the overall championship. His result also marks the first victory for a Volkswagen-engined car in the modern era of the Formula 3 Euroseries.
After the race Mortara commented on his race: "To say that I am surprised and happy is a big understatement. It was just one of those dream weekends where the car was absolutely perfect. First and foremost I would like to thank the Signature team and Volkswagen for all their incredibly hard work: it's because of them that I am here.

"I love Pau, and I had a fantastic feeling with the car all weekend. The second race was difficult as the track conditions were changing lap by lap, but I had a lot of fun practising my overtaking. We've ended up with a good championship lead now, and of course my plan is to try and maintain it in the next race. We've still got 14 races to go, so nobody is taking anything for granted."
