Unfortunately, the whole weekend wasn’t good for us and we need to understand why that was. It has been quite tough as we got stuck in between cars during the race and struggled for grip. Although the high speed was okay, the low and medium speed wasn’t good. There are a lot of things to understand as the car has been difficult all weekend and we couldn’t turn things around unfortunately. Like we always do, we will analyse everything and take learnings from the weekend to find more performance as we go into Zandvoort. Ultimately, this weekend hasn’t gone to our liking, but it is now summer break and I can enjoy time with family and friends and not think too much about the racing side of things. There are many more races left and we can look to do better after the break. We want to aim to be more consistent and always try and even though it was a disappointing result we will keep our head up.

This weekend has been a tough one for the Team. We knew coming into today that it would be tricky to move up into the points, and once I had damage to the front wing our race was effectively over. The gurney flap fell off halfway through and that cost us a lot of pace and worsening grip, so we then lost the ability to make a positive strategy call that would benefit us. Looking back on the season so far I can feel pretty positive, we've made progress, especially since the new floor upgrades were brought to Spa. The gap with Max continues to close, it may not feel like we are getting there but on paper we are only 1/10th off his pace, I'm not sure many other drivers could get as close to him. I am heading straight to the factory tomorrow to go into the Sim, we need to investigate where we went wrong and put in some hard work over the summer break so that we don't start the next half of the season how we finished this one. It's frustrating but we will stay positive and bounce back stronger.

I'm very happy with today's result. It was a tough race and trying to find a window for boxing was tricky with all the traffic. The speed was really good as well as the degradation on the tyres, so everything was well executed by the team. It's never easy keeping a driver like Max behind you, but our strategy meant that we could keep position until the end. It's obviously great to have more consistency over the most recent races, but the key thing is for us to keep the momentum going following the much-deserved summer break.

It’s pure frustration just missing out on points. The pace was strong all weekend, and I felt confident going into the race. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a great launch at the start. I gave it everything on lap one, but got overtaken and ended up getting stuck behind other cars. On the Medium tyres, our pace was solid. It’s a good result for the team and for Liam, there are definitely plenty of positives to take away. The car has the potential, I just need to put everything together when it counts. We’ve been a bit unlucky in the last few races, but I’m optimistic about the second half of the season. I’ll stay focused on what’s ahead and come back stronger after the summer break.
