George Russell (4th): “I’m relatively pleased to maximise the points available this weekend. It’s tough to take, as today I wanted to have a good race in front of our fans. It’s been a tricky weekend, but the team recovered well to put me in a good position for today’s race. At that point we were on for a P4, which would still have been a great result. It’s been an intense first Sprint weekend of the 2022 season. We may not have had the pure pace in this race, but we managed the tyres well and we got both cars into the points. Valtteri Bottas (5th): “It was a fun race for me today! It’s always good to get points, we had a strong race in a car that felt really good.
