Catch up with what the teams had to say following round 14 of the 2020 season, the Turkish Grand Prix at Istanbul Park.
Alfa Romeo
Antonio Giovinazzi
"It's been a challenging Sunday after yesterday's strong qualifying results. I lost the car on the way to the grid, but luckily I only damaged the front wing: the crew did a great job changing it and getting the car ready for the start of the race. Unfortunately our race didn't last long: we had a gearbox issue and had to retire the car. It was a day like this, the conditions were even trickier than yesterday and in the end luck was not on our side. I'm just looking forward to the next race."
Kimi Raikkonen
"The race was far from fun, but it's a bit what we expected once we saw the weather. We would have probably had a much better speed in a full wet race, but the mixed conditions definitely didn't work in our favour. We struggled to make the tyres work, when they did they'd be good for ten laps and then fall off, so it was hard to get into a good rhythm. At least, we didn't lose any points in the championship to our rivals."
Frédéric Vasseur, team principal
"We weren't able to capitalise on the very strong performance we delivered in qualifying yesterday, when we were among the fastest on track. Our race was challenging, with tyres being very hard to manage: we would have probably been able to hold our own on a wet track, but in progressively drying conditions we did struggle. In the end, we lost Antonio due to a technical issue early in the race and Kimi finished 15th, which is not what we had hoped. As a positive, at least, we didn't lose any ground on our championship rivals and we are one step closer to confirming our eighth place in the standings, with three races left."
