“I wasn’t expecting this, and we definitely got lucky today for sure. Sometimes you need to be in the right place at the right time, and good calls were made on strategy, the car was quick, and the team did a great job. We were a bit unlucky as we had to start from the pit lane, but it’s nice to be back in the points with Esteban as well. The team is working incredibly hard, we’re getting there step-by-step, and we still have things to work on, but we’re on the right path.”

“It’s very positive as a team to get double points. I got a bit unlucky with the second safety car and maybe lost three or four positions but overall, it’s very satisfying and well done to Ollie, it’s big for us. We helped ourselves out during the race, we worked together as a team as I gave him DRS and we kept pushing forward together. Well done also to Isack (Hadjar), a fellow Frenchman, for getting his first podium, it’s a day he’ll never forget."
“What a race! I’m really proud of the team effort because yesterday was a tough day. From starting P18 and in the pit lane, the chances were against us but you can never give up, so thanks to everyone in the team. We started on the hard compound and the first safety car timing was completely against us, that was perfect for medium starters. The reaction at that point was to stay calm and focus. As I always say, we must get the basics right and today I believe we did that, and both drivers were great team players, and I can’t fault it. Today should be the benchmark, this is what we can do, so let’s do it again.”
