I'm a sucker for an underdog. Storming a grid of 22 Kalex with just two of your own chassis and grabbing third. The boss in tears — anyone who knows the paddock feels that in their bones. A first own-chassis podium in a decade weighs more than the position. Escrig, what a parting gift you've left.

22 Kalex, 4 Boscoscuro, 2 Forward. The numbers tell the whole story.

Single-supplier in 3-5 years — sad, but hard to deny given the trend.

Third on just two self-built chassis — thrilling even without underdog bias.

Escrig leaves the team after this season? What a way to bow out.
