Esteban Ocon

I’m pleased to have scored a point for the team this afternoon after some hard fights on track. We had good pace throughout, enough straight-line speed to overtake down the Kemmel Straight and in the end, it was enough for the top ten. There are positives, like our general race pace and tyre management. We could have finished in a higher position had we executed things slightly differently, but that is up for us to review and improve. We decided to focus on race preparation and set up the car suitably. I am staying in Spa for a few days for the Pirelli tyre test before the summer break.

Pierre Gasly

It was not a good race today in Spa. It was tough to fight with cars around us as we lacked straight-line speed and had to manage some temperature issues, amongst other things. As did other cars, we missed a trick with our strategy today with the one-stop possible. We must review these things, as I know we can do much better as a team. In recent weeks, we have not been good enough, and we must do better when we return to racing after the summer break. It’s been a tough first part of the season for us, but I’m pleased with some of the things we bring to the car. We must keep finding further improvements to the car and return hungrier to do better.

Bruno Famin – Team Principal

We end the first part of the season with an important point here in Spa. It was a tough race filled with interesting decisions on car set-up and strategy. From where we began this season to where we are now, we have made significant strides forward. It has been a turbulent 2024 season so far, but we have dug deep as a team and have been able to rectify and drastically improve our car performance. We introduced a good upgrade here in Spa, and more is in the pipeline for the remainder of the year. We will continue to build and learn, and right now, we are looking forward to a well-deserved summer shutdown.
