It’s been a fantastic weekend and to win again has been incredible, it’s been a while! It is really rewarding to see the steps we are making understanding the car. We brought an upgrade here which really worked and took a step forward with the set-up of the car. In general, the car goes better in low to medium downforce tracks and we just need to keep pushing and keep trying to improve, as we have been. After the overtake it was about getting on with my own race, hitting targets and looking after the tyres. Pitting and going on to the Hard tyre was the best thing possible and we just tried to extend the gap as much as we could to the McLarens. This weekend has been incredible and is a super important weekend during a year like this. It shows there are still chances to win, which is really nice. Everyone has fully committed to improving the car all weekend and it was a fantastic result for everyone here and a big victory for the Team and for Laurent. 

After such a positive start to the weekend it was very frustrating to have an incident that caused so much damage to the floor of my car, especially when I should have been fighting for the points. We had been so quick overall but as soon as I had the damage my pace just wasn’t there. On the positive side we were better in the short runs today and after Q2 yesterday I was really close to Max and I can see that we are making progress race by race. After a race like today you just have to pick yourself back up and look at the positives like the quali lap, of course I am disappointed but you have to keep fighting and believing in yourself. Max was given a new floor this weekend as well and I didn’t receive that upgrade, so I am happy that I was able to squeeze as much performance out of the car as I did for qualifying yesterday. My focus is solely on the rest of the season at the moment and carrying on with the rate of progression that we have been making. I would also like to congratulate the Team and Max on the win today, it has been a while since we finished in P1 and is a great way to end the weekend as we head to Baku. 

I’m obviously very happy as I think we achieved the maximum we could have done today. I really enjoyed it; the car was fast out there, and our team's strategy was well-executed, complemented by a strong pace throughout the whole race. Before the race, I thought we’d have got stuck in a DRS train, but instead we made the most of the Hard tyres in free air. Overall it was a fun race as it felt like we did Quali laps one after the other without tyre degradation. After a frustrating Qualifying and a race start from the pit lane, I think we really deserve this point as a team. Looking forward to getting back to racing in Baku in two weeks time. 

It was a tough race starting from the back. We tried something different with the strategy and took a gamble, but unfortunately, it didn’t pay off. We were close, but a few cars came out ahead of us on fresh tyres, and we got stuck behind them, which was really frustrating. Had we cleared that pack, it could’ve been a much easier race. The car has been quick, so it’s disappointing to come away with no points. On my side, we didn’t quite maximise the weekend. That said, it’s not as bad as it looks, and we’ll look to turn things around in Baku.
