Reflecting on his win and the significance of racing in Shanghai, da Costa shared: "(It's) amazing to be back in China and to do it here in Shanghai. This is where, for me, it started. For me, it started in Beijing ten years ago. And to come back here (in Shanghai) and to win the race, it's amazing."

"I'm super happy with the momentum that we've been able to build. It's been a big run of races now since Sao Paulo, racing almost every two weeks, so we've been able to crack on and keep building a little bit more every weekend."

The victory not only solidified da Costa's standing in the championship but also highlighted the efficiency and performance of the Porsche and Jaguar teams.
