Aron feels he already has Silverstone redemption with Hungaroring pole

Paul Aron was delighted to bounce back from a points-free weekend at Silverstone with pole position at the Hungaroring, but acknowledged his job for the weekend is not finished yet.

The Hitech GP driver lost his championship lead at Silverstone, and after taking two points for pole he still has 14 to make up on Campos Racing’s Isack Hadjar.

“It was great to be back on top,” he told media including Formula Scout after qualifying. “We had a tough Silverstone round, partly because of mistakes from my side, but also a lot of issues and unluck. So it was just great to come here and deliver straight away. The lap was good. I’m sure all of you will see it soon. I had the onboard on the car anyway, so I’m expecting [it to be aired]. It was a good lap and I was very happy.”

Aron admitted he needed a break before heading to Hungary after a highly demanding triple-header.

“The schedule we had during that triple-header was very heavy,” he explained. “We were flying back to the factory every Sunday. We were in the sim Monday and Tuesday. So we were working really hard and clearly the pace showed that the hard work was paying off. But I think in Silverstone I was just a bit burned out and that’s why the mistakes came in. Having the week off, I just reset. I came back here and I was never worried because the pace in Silverstone was still very good. It just didn’t come together. This time I put the lap in, didn’t spin and here we are.”

He added: “I feel good now. I had a week off. I got to see my family. I got to see my friends. And the main thing was that I got a few days where I wasn’t just thinking about racing, and that’s it. So I feel good now, I’m happy to be back and I don’t feel like these races that there’s been so many has affected me at this point. So I was excited to get back because Silverstone didn’t go how I wanted. And I had a chance to come here and get redemption, which I’ve done so far. Obviously, the job’s not done yet, but it’s a good start.”

Aron is still chasing his maiden Formula 2 win, and pole presents a great opportunity to finally achieve that.

“I want to convert my pole to a win because I’m starting from first and the only thing I can do is lose positions. I can’t gain any. So of course I want to stay where I am. And I had a shot at in Barcelona. It didn’t come together. I’m hoping that this time we can put it together. But if it doesn’t turn out exactly as we want and we get good results and good points, you have to move on and try again. I don’t feel like my approach is changing because Isack is near me.”
