Everything went really smooth today and we did well to keep the tyres alive. It was great to get the win here and we had a very good day. The last few laps were very strong, we made no mistakes and had good communication with the pit wall throughout. Our start was really good and Lando was a bit late on the brakes. It was important to get ahead as we were able to then do our own thing and stay really consistent. During the race, the Mediums felt better than expected and we did a decent stint first which made things easier when we got on to the Hard compound. It was a good race for us, we had good pace and everything worked really well. For the next few races we just need to do the best we can and keep trying to win as many races until the end of the year and maximise everything we can. I had fun out there today.

Things didn’t go the way we would have liked today and I think I would have been in a lot higher a place without the tyre pressure issue we had in Qualifying. What happened in Qualifying was a mistake, it’s something that was out of my control but it is very frustrating because until then I was having a good weekend. I lost the opportunity to have a good race with something that is relatively easy to avoid but we will learn from it as a Team. If the timing of the VSC on lap two had worked out we could have employed a very successful strategy today, but in the end it was just unfortunate, because just before that I had pitted. Everything feels like it is going against me lately and weekends aren’t going as we planned. The changes we made to the car overnight didn’t impact the pace as much as we had wanted either. A lot of things are happening out of my control lately, but I can only control what I can control. The pace is getting there for me and I am feeling more comfortable and confident with the car. I will just keep doing what I am doing.

I’m happy about our race today as I feel like we extracted everything we could. We were going into the unknown a little bit as we hadn’t had any long runs in practice. We were probably a bit too conservative on the tyre management as we were expecting more graining before the start, when in the end it was a full push race. I’m proud of the team for the job we’ve done here in Vegas, and I think it's been our best weekend of the year. We didn't make any mistakes from FP1 and ticked all the boxes we had to, so it’s nice to be rewarded with four points. I’m now confident going into the last two races of the year in Qatar and Abu Dhabi, which are tracks that I think will suit our car better.

I'm disappointed for the team today as the car has been fast this weekend. It was extremely slippery into Turn 1 and once I committed to brake, the cars in front started checking up and I didn't have anywhere to go. We should have had two cars in the points today, so it's a shame given where we started. That being said, we'll of course take the positives from the speed of the car into Qatar.
