Esteban Ocon

I am happy that we, the team, could score points with both cars today. We did a mega race starting from the back of the grid to make it into the points, which is fantastic for the team. The team had to fix the car on the grid before the race started, and I am very grateful for their hard work. The energy management was complex towards the end of the race, meaning I needed help to get the battery to its full potential. I was instructed to let Pierre pass two laps to the end to catch Daniel, who was ahead. I let Pierre pass me and lost a place on the second to last lap. I did what was best for the team and respected the instruction I was given.

Pierre Gasly

We can be very “pleased as a team with our result today, with both cars finishing in the points for the first time this year. I had contact with Sergio at the start of the race after Turn 2 and lost a few positions. After that, we focused on fighting our way back. We made some good and opportunistic calls today, pitting early for Hards when the rest of the grid was still on Intermediates. In hindsight, we should have waited another lap, but it worked out well in the end, allowing for a decent pace and gaining back positions we lost at the start. We tried to gain the maximum for the team today and wanted to attack Daniel for P8 at the end of the race by swapping positions. We can be very pleased with our points and everyone’s great teamwork today.

Bruno Famin – Team Principal

Overall, it was a positive team result today with a double-point finish − the first of the season, so well done to the team for a very well-executed race. It is pleasing to bounce back after a difficult day in Qualifying yesterday and make the most of the mixed conditions. We knew that going into the race, it would be crucial to make the right calls at the right time, and the team executed well operationally today, both on strategy and pit stops. We managed to secure three crucial points for the team and move up one position in the Constructors.’
