It was an incredible weekend and today we had really good pace and it ended up being quite a straightforward race. Starting out in front today was key for us and we managed our tyres well. We were going well on the first stint and executed everything how we wanted to. Our strategy was to go from Hard tyres and then on to Mediums and luckily there were no safety cars in the middle of the race which might have messed this up. This is a tough track to be consistent at, with the challenging layout and also very hard winds so you have to keep reminding yourself to keep out of the walls! I was happy with the car and we really managed our pace and had quite a big gap to the Mercedes. It has been a great weekend overall and the last two weekends for sure have been amazing. Both are tracks where we have low downforce so we will see how we go on other circuits. Hopefully we can continue forward with this form, but we are just enjoying the moment right now. We are really happy with what we are doing: the relationship that I have with the Team is really good and when the car goes well, everything comes together.

We've put together a strong weekend here in Azerbaijan, where we showed the performance that we've wanted to for a long time. So, scoring my best result with the Team feels deserved. We put ourselves in a great position yesterday in Qualifying and we wanted to capitalise on that with the good promise that we showed in the long runs in practice. There wasn't a lot of tyre degradation on either the Medium or Hard tyre, so no one was particularly falling away, which made it tricky to pass but still, I am happy with P6. I've received massive support from the Team, so it's nice to repay that with some solid points. The changes that we've made to the car have really worked this weekend and it allowed us to be more competitive than we have been on race days previously. I came into Baku having put in a lot of hard work off track to extract as much performance as possible and today was a step in the right direction. I feel like I have unlocked something that I can take into future races. Also, a huge congratulations to Max as it was a classic drive from him. The Team has been operating at a very sharp level, and we want to continue this momentum. We are not giving up anything until the end of the season.

The race felt rewarding, particularly after the last ten to fifteen laps, which was pretty intense. Obviously it's a little disappointing from where we were starting, but realistically we didn't have the speed to fight with the guys in front today, despite always being hopeful. To have a P5 is big for us, especially in the Championship right now. We've had a good car all weekend thanks to the team, so I'm pleased to be coming home with points. We gave it everything!

We had some hydraulic issues before the race start, but the boys did an amazing job to get everything fixed in time. I got off to a really good start, but unfortunately, I made the same costly mistake as yesterday and lost two places. We had great pace on the Hard tyre, but not so much on the Medium, so we’ll need to do some research to understand why. There are still plenty of positives and learnings to take away from this weekend though; Liam drove a perfect race, and I’m really happy for the team with a double points finish. I’m looking forward to Singapore and feel confident that we can do well there.
