The weekend through OP’s visor

Quali…

“First of all, it’s great to see Lando is okay. Overall, I am happy with the job we did today. Being so close to Pole is frustrating but we didn’t have much more in it and Max did a great job. I think we can fight from where we are as our pace is good, so we’re in a strong position to challenge for the win. I think it’s going to be a tough but fun race.”

The race…

“Very, very happy to have won, that was a tough race! We’ve put a lot of work into our starts recently, and in the end, that’s played a big part in the victory. It was really tricky out there at times, chewing up the tyres, but once we got into clean air it was nice. The team did a great job executing the strategy and we did all the parts right that we needed to.

We’ve still got work to do, it’s very close at the front, but it’s been a great weekend. We can now turn our attention to working hard at the factory next week before heading to Miami.”
