Team Talk - Sunday at Silverstone

Racing Bulls

Isack Hadjar

“Racing in these tough conditions means that it’s always a little bit of a gamble out there. At the start of the race, I was following Charles and it seemed we had a good pace; we were on the same strategy, but it wasn't the right one. During the laps we spent behind the Safety Car, I couldn’t see much due to the heavy rain and the tyre temperature dropped. After the restart, I wish I could have maybe had a bit more margin, but when I saw the red light of the back of Kimi’s car, it was already too late as there was just zero visibility. Thankfully, I’m okay. Now we reset, and I’m already looking forward to racing in Spa in a couple of weeks.”

Liam Lawson

“Unfortunately, our race ended early due to a racing incident. We made the right call on tyres and had a strong start, so it’s a shame we couldn’t show the car’s full potential. I think we had a really good car today, especially suited to the mixed conditions. It was a race full of opportunity, and we missed out on some big points. Looking ahead to Spa in a few weeks, we’re aiming for another weekend in the points, it’ll be another special one in an F1 car."

Laurent Mekies

“To start with the most important thing, both Liam and Isack are okay, they escaped the accidents they had unhurt. There is never a good day to lose both cars in crashes, but it is what it is; today was not a good day for that. What matters is that we have a strong car, strong drivers and we were fast again this weekend. However we do leave here with 0 points and we will be working very hard to improve on the few things that have derailed our weekend. We will be regrouping, preparing for Spa and turning up trying to use the pace of the car that we are confident we have. It might not have been the result we wanted to leave Silverstone with, but the hard work and team spirit in both Faenza and Milton Keynes is very high and I'd like to thank everyone for pushing to unlock the next steps together.”
