Team Talk - Sunday in Jeddah

Esteban Ocon

“I think if we take the average of this triple, we’ve managed to pull the pieces together in Bahrain on my side, in Suzuka on Ollie’s side as well, but here, we struggled. We tried something with strategy to be inside the points if something happened but unfortunately that wasn’t enough today. It’s one more race with good knowledge and hopefully that will serve us for the next one. We will get to work and hopefully come back well in Miami.”

Ollie Bearman

“We were struggling a little bit, especially in that first stint with balance, so I wasn’t able to do much out there today. It was close with RB but we couldn’t quite match their pace and I had to get off that medium tire early, plus it’s very tough to overtake and to follow in sector one. Overall, the triple-header has been positive as we’ve been fighting for the points there or thereabouts for three races now, and on three very different tracks so that’s positive.”

Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal

“I think we did the best we could today, but ultimately we just didn’t have the pace to score points. I think our result is a fair one. I think everyone has done their best, so we got the most out of what we have – but on this circuit with high-speed corners, sadly our performance wasn’t good enough. We’re working on improving the car and understanding how to get performance out of the soft tire, as we need to look at that for Miami. All in all, through this grueling triple-header, I’m happy with how the team is performing. We achieved a great result in Suzuka and Bahrain, so I think we have to look at the bigger picture. Let’s reset and go again in Miami.”
