Esteban Ocon

Getting both cars in the points for a second consecutive Grand Prix was good. It was a challenging race for us with car balance and some tricky stints, but nevertheless, we managed to bring the car home inside the top ten again, and that’s satisfying. In the end, it was close with Nico [Hülkenberg], but we could maintain pace and get the final point on merit on track. We have things to analyse, such as why the car felt harder to drive in race conditions as I was sliding quite a lot. Even so, we were much more competitive this weekend and came out of it with a good reward. We aim to continue our points run in Austria next weekend, with two opportunities to score points with Sprint.

Pierre Gasly

That was our best race of the season so far as a team, so on that front, I am very happy with today. We had a strong Qualifying on Saturday, which set us up for a good result in ninth place today. We executed the race well with the two-stop strategy and managed each stint well. We almost had eighth place and only missed out on the last lap, but I gave it my all. Even so, I’m happy with such a strong race where we battled two fast cars – the McLaren early on and then the Red Bull at the end – so that’s positive for us. We must understand why the package was strong here and take these learnings going forward. We are progressing in a good direction; that’s three points-scoring finishes in a row, and we must keep that going!

Bruno Famin – Team Principal

It’s pleasing to have both cars at the points here in Spain again and to score at the last three Grand Prix as a team. It’s a positive trend, which we must keep continuing. We were better at this track and must analyse the reasons for this to keep improving our overall package. The race was a tough two-stop for both cars. The two drivers did well, especially in tyre, energy, and fuel management. Next is the Sprint weekend in Austria, where we aim to continue our positive run inside the points.
