Esteban Ocon

Today was a tough race, and we ended up outside the points. We had a strong start, which we needed, as we managed to pass Nico [Hülkenberg] on the opening lap. He did get by a few laps later, but we stayed right with him during the first stint, and from there, it would be a strategy race. We were not quick enough to fight for position and fell back into traffic after our pit stops. We had a better pace earlier in the weekend, so we will review everything in detail to improve next time. We finish off the triple header in Silverstone next weekend, so hopefully, it will be a strong Sunday showing for us at a legendary circuit.

Pierre Gasly

That’s four points-scoring finishes in a row and my 400th career point in Formula 1. In that sense, it’s been a satisfying day but a race I am sure we will review in detail to improve on a few things. We were always in the fight for points. I did not have a great start, but we did our best to recover after that. I think the two Haas cars were slightly quicker than us, and, in the end, I was in a close one with Daniel [Ricciardo], but it was tough as it was just a DRS train. We will settle for a point, four in a row now, which does show we are building consistency across different circuits. We continue to be more confident in our package, and it’s good for motivation to keep pushing and adding performance to the car. We will take it race by race and focus on ourselves. I’m thrilled with the current trajectory. Next one, Silverstone!

Bruno Famin – Team Principal

We scored one point today after a hard-fought Austrian Grand Prix. While it means we continue our points-scoring run, we leave Spielberg with plenty of things to review and improve for next time. We probably could have maximised our performance level, which meant our direct rivals capitalised and scored valuable points. We immediately have Silverstone to focus on next weekend, and we look forward to finishing this triple header at Enstone’s home race.
