"Really today I am happy because it's not rough and when I test with my friend Nadir (Bin Hendi) today I think I chose a good set-up, I tried to, same as our plan, to start to push at the first buoy, then I reached the first buoy and then I continue with our position."

In V1, Bernico-New Star’s Belgium team of Nico Bertels and Frank Hemelaer won the final race of the season, fourth place for race 1 winners Aaron Ciantar and Dominique Martini in Chaudron was good enough to seal the V1 World Championship, not a spectacular way to do it but you don't imagine they'll mind too much.
