The weekend through OP’s visor

Quali…

“Qualifying was a close one today. I felt like I executed a pretty good session and built up my pace well. Overall, I am still feeling confident for tomorrow, and whilst it wasn’t where I wanted to be starting, it just proves how incredibly tight it has been this weekend. A lot of teams look quick, but we have good race pace, and there are so many factors at play here, so I am sure we can go forward.”

The race…

“A trickier day for us. There were quite a few learning points from the first part of the race and also towards the end. It’s inherently quite a unique track, so there are some things that we can improve on for next year and other low downforce tracks later in 2025.

In terms of the call to swap, ultimately it was fair. We have things to discuss, as we always do with these sorts of racing situations. It’s now time to refocus ahead of Baku.”
