The weekend through OP’s visor

Quali…

“I felt like we maximised what we could today. I was happy with my Q3 laps; we just didn’t quite have the pace to answer Max. Our long run pace looks okay, so let’s see what we can do tomorrow. I’ll focus on delivering the best race I can, and we’ll see what happens.”

The race…

“Congratulations to Lando on the Championship win, it was great to battle with him all the way to the end, and it’s a lovely moment for the team. It was a really strong race to finish out this year, we took a risk on strategy, and it paid off, but we just didn’t have an answer to Max.

It’s been an amazing season and one I am very proud of. We’ll take everything we’ve learnt and head into 2026 as the strongest driver I’ve ever been. I am excited to see what we can achieve next year.”
