Red 5 Racing slammed critics on Thursday evening with a superb podium finish at the Yeongam Circuit in Korea. Team owner Jamez Shepherd insists the result wasn't a surprise as much as confirmation that the take-over was the right move.


"The whole team is delighted with the result. Nothing says 'You've arrived' like a podium finish on debut. But now we've set the bar even higher for ourselves. Teams that we thought were out of our reach have suddenly become a more realistic target.


"There's a nice little battle forming for 4th in the Constructors' Championship, and with Nordsjoen failing to bring home any points in Korea it's looking like that battle could soon be a full scale war for 3rd. We aim to be there when it happens. First step is another podium finish in Turkey. We're looking forward to sampling the champagne, and smoking hookahs on Constantinople's finest floor coverings!"
