"We had no pace, no harmony, no rhythm. I just didn't get off on the right foot with the car all weekend and we didn't manage to find a sweet spot across the sessions, and we need to look a little into why, but also forget this weekend and go again after the summer break. Kevin looked a bit better and pulled off the one-stop which was decent. Overall, we need to look into our low-downforce performance."

"I think we had a decent race, we just didn't have the pace to fight further up today. We took what we could and did a one-stop, which was fine. I can't say we did anything wrong, we just weren't fast enough. We thought this track was going to be good for us, but we've been surprised many times, and this is the worst race we've had in a while. I'm looking forward to the summer break – everyone is – and then looking forward to some races where we'll score some more points."
Ayao Komatsu, team principal
"It was a tough race today, we didn't have the pace. On Kevin's side, he drove a really good race and we managed to do a one-stop strategy. Russell did a one-stop and managed to win the race compared to his teammate who two-stopped, so track evolution was actually pretty big and tyre degradation was lower than expected. We reacted well converting Kevin's strategy from two stops to one, and he drove well. Nico struggled a lot more and we couldn't have done a one-stop strategy with him due to the degradation he had. We need to investigate why but all in all, it's not the way we want to finish the last race before the summer shutdown, but we have to look at the bigger picture. Across 14 races, we've scored 27 points and we're P7 in the Constructors' Championship – so we need to look at the positives."
