2024 Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix Highlights

We had a good car today and could’ve scored some good points, so retiring with a suspected PU issue is frustrating. We need to understand whether it was a similar problem to FP2 or the same issue we had in Singapore, but we’ll go away and try to get to the bottom of it. We’ve experienced some hard times this year, so we have to stay strong. From my side, these things happen, but I wanted a good result for the team to try to repay everyone for the hard work they’ve put in during these really tough times. It wasn’t meant to be, so we’ll try to focus on the last two races of the season, and hopefully, we can turn things around.

 It was a tough weekend. Qualifying yesterday was feeling very good, and I was getting more comfortable, but then I started the lap too close to Gasly, had a very messy last corner, and unfortunately finished with a lot of damage. From where we started in the pit lane today, we made some progress and did a good job overall. It was challenging to manage the tyres as we had a lot of graining. I must say a huge thank you to the garage team, who have been the heroes of the last few races. They had to rebuild a whole car yesterday for me to race today, and it’s incredible how good they are. They are the best out there, and I’m very grateful. We know more opportunities are coming next week in Qatar, and we will bounce back.
