Today was tough, and while we had a very good pace throughout the race, we spent the majority of it with traffic, no matter what we did. The penalty obviously didn’t help, and it’s a shame, as this weekend has been the most comfortable I’ve felt in the car. We’re doing all the right things, and it all needs to come together now to get some points. Isack made the most of his clean first stint, and it’s great for the team to grab another point this weekend. It’s very close in the midfield at the moment, and we’ll try to work on improving this for Miami. It’s a track I haven’t driven but am excited for. We’ll keep pushing.

It was a solid race for us, and I am really happy. We had a good start this time, the strategy was good, and that was the goal. We were on the alternative strategy with the aim to extend, and that is what we did. I didn’t know points were possible, but we had a really good pace and we managed to do it. The two Williams were ahead of me after the pit stop, and then they played the team game. Alex didn’t make any mistakes, and if they had not been teammates, we could have finished P8. It was definitely challenging, and I struggled. Even though we made a few mistakes, it was a well-executed race; it’s the racing I want to do. We will go away and find out why our Qualifying pace wasn’t strong. Miami is going to be interesting as it’s a sprint weekend, with only one session before sprint Qualifying, I believe we can do it.

A positive weekend here for us in Jeddah. We had a good race pace and came away with a point that we fought very hard for. It’s a tricky track here with high-speed corners, and the walls are very close. Both Liam and Isack did a very good job, despite neither of them having raced on this track in an F1 car before. They were only a few hundredths away from Q3 yesterday, and we went into this race not knowing whether we were going to have enough race pace to fight with those in front of us, but you can see we gave it a good go. Both of them have been very close in performance this weekend, pushing each other, which is exactly what we need for the future. We know we have a lot more work to do and will constantly be pushing for more in Faenza, Milton Keynes, and on the race track. We will go again in two weeks and will try our hardest once again in Miami.
