Lapierre ready for more victories

Nicolas Lapierre took his first GP2 win today in Bahrain and also brought DAMS back to winning ways. The Frenchman is particularly relieved having suffered a terrible season last year with injuries and bad luck. He now wants to prove himself by winning a feature race.

Lapierre said how it felt: "Pretty good for me first of all but also for the team because it has been a long time since they've won a race in GP2.

"It's not like a Saturday race, but it's pretty good. We had Glock and Filippi there so it was a difficult race, but we stayed in the front, we had pretty good pace, and now we have to go ahead for the future - now we have to do a good qualifying and win a Saturday race.

"It's very important because since Monaco last year I haven't been on the podium, and when I came back I was not 100% yet physically, but over the winter I have trained a lot and I think I am really back like I was before, my back is like it was before, and I think this year we have everything to do a good season. The team is working hard, I have a good relationship with them, and we have had a good first race. We just need to go again and push in Barcelona."
