"I’m happy about our race today as I feel like we extracted everything we could. We were going into the unknown a little bit as we hadn’t had any long runs in practice. We were probably a bit too conservative on the tyre management as we were expecting more graining before the start, when in the end it was a full push race. I’m proud of the team for the job we’ve done here in Vegas, and I think it's been our best weekend of the year.
"We didn't make any mistakes from FP1 and ticked all the boxes we had to, so it’s nice to be rewarded with four points. I’m now confident going into the last two races of the year in Qatar and Abu Dhabi, which are tracks that I think will suit our car better.”

“I'm disappointed for the team today as the car has been fast this weekend. It was extremely slippery into Turn 1 and once I committed to brake, the cars in front started checking up and I didn't have anywhere to go. We should have had two cars in the points today, so it's a shame given where we started. That being said, we'll of course take the positives from the speed of the car into Qatar."
Alan Permane, Team Principal
A strong weekend for us. Isack drove a great race and didn’t put a foot wrong, bringing home four very valuable points for the Constructor’s Championship. Whilst we didn’t have the pace to challenge those in front, it was a case of looking after the tyres, ensuring we didn’t hit any graining at the front, and keeping a sensible gap to Hulkenberg behind.
"Liam unfortunately reacted to Russell locking up in front of him and clipped Piastri, which resulted in him having to come in for a front wing change. In a straightforward, one-stop race like that, it’s difficult to make positions up from the back. Nevertheless, we prove again we’ve got a fast car, with fast drivers and we look forward to the Sprint weekend in Qatar next weekend.”
