Jack Doohan

Firstly, thank you to Luca de Meo, Flavio Briatore and Oliver Oakes for the opportunity. It has been an incredible experience to make my Formula 1 debut, and I am very grateful that they entrusted me to step into the car this weekend. Thank you to the whole team for making the transition as smooth as possible. It was fantastic to get back to racing; I have learned a lot and gained a lot of experience. We finished sixth in the Constructors’ Championship, which is excellent. I am happy to have assisted where possible, both this weekend and throughout the whole season behind the scenes. Congratulations to Pierre on his race results and for getting tenth in the Drivers’ Championship. I look forward to next season, kicking it off with my home race in Australia and continuing to work and progress with the team.

Pierre Gasly

I am so happy for the entire team as we have achieved sixth in the Constructors’ Championship. This season, we have had lows, which were extremely low, and highs, which were extremely high. We have been through some tough moments this year, and I am so proud of the team’s reaction to turn around our season. We finished it with a competitive car, which has allowed us to regularly compete for Q3 and fight for points in the races. Credit to Haas, as it’s been a great battle with them in recent races. There was also a little personal battle between Nico [Hülkenberg] and me in the Drivers’ Championship for tenth place. It was a close one today with him, as it always is. He was right behind me, and I knew we just had to react to what he did, and we would achieve our targets. Running in third place for some of the race felt good, but we knew that was not our fight today. In the end, an important result, sixth place secured in the Championship, so congratulations to everyone in the team for this achievement.

Oliver Oakes – Team Principal

It’s a great achievement to end the season in sixth place in the standings. The team’s turnaround in the second half of the season has been amazing, and it shows that everyone’s hard work and determination at Enstone and Viry have paid off. The team never gave up ever lost sight of the end goal; we can take that confidence and momentum into 2025. Pierre drove a great race and did everything asked of him. He’s been at the top of his game recently and put another top performance today to keep Nico [Hülkenberg] at bay. Jack did well today and showed a promising pace, matching the cars around him with similar strategies. It’s a great learning for him to take into next year. Credit goes to Haas and RB, who were strong this year and kept the fight exciting to the very end. Also, congratulations to McLaren on winning the Constructors’ Championship. They’ve been the benchmark this year and thoroughly deserve it.
