The footsteps that Robert left are going to be a huge task for the whole team to fill and to honor him we renamed our car to Porsche 921 RM RSR-23 which the RM stands for Robert Mathershaw. We are confident in our team, drivers and new team principal Sven to continue the legacy of Mathershaw and Porsche in FV. About Enrique I don’t have to say a lot of. His career speaks for himself. Alexander is a proven winner in the junior categories and has all the backing of the team and all the time he needs to develop in a future world champion.

Thanks again to Porsche for the trust in my abilities to step in such big footsteps that Robert left and also a big thanks to Alex and the whole of Phoenix who took me under his wing and with his help and guidance he has been a big help in this journey to be an FV team principal! We're here to fight and win! Robert Mathershaw, Technical Director, Coca-Cola Porsche Team Mathershaw: “I’m delighted to see the Porsche for the 2023 FV season, and it’s an honour to be a guest here as we see a new era for the team - particularly when they’ve been so kind with the name of the car! The car itself looks gorgeous, and you can see how hard the team have worked over the winter to build on where we were last year - it’s going to be so exciting to see how it goes. The Porsche DNA is truly alive and well in FV, and I am very sure Sven is going to take them from strength to strength!”
