George Russell (3rd): “Unfortunately, this weekend we were not where we wanted to be as a team – but like I said on the radio, it doesn’t matter if we are fast or slow, we keep getting these podium finishes. Overall if you look at the pace of our car this weekend, especially today, I think we were strong. We should have finished P5 or P6 but we lost several positions with an issue at the start, which compromised our race. Esteban Ocon (11th): “It was a tricky race today and obviously it’s disappointing to finish just one position away from the points in the end. He could only finish in P14, but in general, Yuki had a good race weekend. Valtteri Bottas (13th): “We had good pace today, so it’s disappointing not to be in the points: in the end, my race was compromised at turn one when I was hit from behind and I hit the car ahead.
