It was a tough race where we struggled to make progress due to the track’s nature and traffic. Tire degradation in dirty air added to the challenge. Track position was crucial, and there’s room for improvement in maximising the car’s potential, especially in low-fuel conditions. We’ll work closely with the team to analyse and prepare better for Montréal.

It was a challenging Sunday for us, but scoring points is a positive outcome overall. The past few weeks have been tough, and we knew we needed to bounce back after our trip to Monaco. Qualifying was strong, but we faced more difficulties on race day. The Safety Car near the end allowed us to make a crucial pit-stop for fresh tyres, thanks to a great call from the team. We’ll review and work on our weaknesses as we head into Canada.

Securing points in Barcelona was a positive outcome following a demanding weekend. We acknowledge our current car performance isn’t where we want it to be, evident in the recent races. Pierre executed a solid race, and the team’s strategic decision during the Safety Car period paid off with fresher tyres. Franco faced a tough race starting from the back and struggled to advance. As a team, we need to regroup and address our challenges to progress.
