"This is probably the closest championship ever seen in 25 years. Going into the final race, only one point had separated the top two. I was leading comfortably and then the safety car came in. It slashed my lead and Arya (Singh) overtook. I did not give up, put my head down and gave my best. I would never forget this moment and this day in my entire life. I'm grateful to my whole team at Dark Don Racing for their consistent support throughout,” said Ashwin.
