The race through OP’s visor

“It was an amazing weekend. I’m very happy. To get my best grand prix finish after getting my first F1 win and sprint pole yesterday is such a special feeling.

That was probably the hardest race I’ve ever driven due to the heat and intensity in the cockpit so it’s great to be coming away with another trophy and some more good points.

A massive thanks goes to the team for all the hard work that they’ve put into the car. It was fantastic to drive yet again so they deserve this.

So grateful for all the support I’ve had and to receive the Driver of the Day award too. It’s always great to receive that recognition from the fans.”
