The weekend through OP’s visor

Quali…

“Pole! I’ve felt good out there pretty much all weekend. We’ve had good pace, and the car feels great, which is the most important thing.

It’s a long race tomorrow, and lots can happen, but we’re starting in a strong position so I’m looking forward to it. There’s work to do tonight but I can’t thank the team enough for the car they’ve given me this weekend.”

The race…

“It’s been an incredible weekend, starting off with Qualifying yesterday and it was nice to finish the job in style today. I can’t thank the team enough for the car they’ve given us – it was pretty handy out there!

I’m very proud of what I’ve done this weekend and proud to do it here in Bahrain as well. It’s obviously a very important race for us, given our ownership. It’s never been a track that’s been kind to us, so it’s great to finally get the first win for the team in Bahrain.”
