Franco Colapinto finished in P11 after Alex Albon was forced into an early retirement, as the team came tantalisingly close to a points finish at the 2024 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix.
Alex Albon
It’s unfortunate to finish today how we did when I believe we had a car that could’ve scored points this weekend. Ultimately, a cooling issue with the power unit ended our race, however after a difficult start being forced a little wide, it would’ve been difficult to come back from there. Sometimes, you have a car that isn’t capable of scoring points, so when you do, it’s very satisfying, but this weekend was the opposite; we had a super quick car, and we should’ve been in the points, so it’s frustrating. We will review everything and see how we can improve for the remaining races.
Franco Colapinto
It’s a pity we didn’t finish in the top 10 after being there at the beginning of the race. I think it was possible to stay on the points and keep [Checo] Pérez behind, as it was a difficult track to overtake. However, we didn’t defend as well as we could have and by stopping a lap too late, we lost a place. It is what it is; we win and lose together as a team. Tyre management was good throughout the race, but I was struggling a bit physically, which was more of a limiting factor. Overall, P11 was still a decent result, and it was a very positive race to build on what I’ve learned so far.
Sven Smeets, Sporting Director:
We were hoping for more today as we had a strong car, so it’s a shame to come away without points. After Franco’s single pitstop, we lost P10 to [Checo] Pérez. Franco stayed close to him and [Nico] Hülkenberg but was unable to make a pass into the points. Nevertheless, Franco had a solid weekend in extremely tough conditions, only at his third grand prix, and we are pleased with his performance. In terms of Alex’s race, it’s always disappointing when you have to retire a car; we experienced some cooling issues but need to assess this in the coming days. It’s clear that we have brought the performance to the car with the upgrades over the past few races, but we didn’t get it all right as a team this weekend to score points for the third time in a row. We will now use this small break in the calendar to regroup ahead of the next triple-header, as there is still a lot to play for.
