Valtteri Bottas, 19th
“Another double finish is really good for the team. I was lacking a bit of performance, which meant I struggled to challenge the Aston Martins today, so it’s something we need to look at. We tried a different strategy by starting with the Hard tyre but unfortunately it didn’t seem to work. However, throughout the whole weekend it was much cleaner with fewer issues. We’ve learned a lot that we can use to improve for the next race. We now head into this gap in the calendar after our first three races with the opportunity to analyze everything learned so far and spend more time developing the car. The mood is good in the team as we fully focus on preparations for our first home Grand Prix in Miami.”
Sergio Perez, 17th
“Today was our strongest race so far this year. We’ve made a lot of progress in a short space of time, and we can be happy to get two cars past the finish yet again. Yesterday we had some issues with the deployment and today it felt like we were on top of it. We were clearly faster than Aston Martin and we can see our pace is getting stronger. Hopefully the upgrades we bring to Miami will put us into the mix a lot more.”
Graeme Lowdon, Team Principal
“Today’s result has capped off another strong weekend for us. Just three races into our debut season, we can be very proud to have achieved another two-car finish, with one car on the lead lap. Sadly for Valtteri, he wasn’t waved past the Safety Car with time to regain his place on track, which destroyed his race. I’m particularly pleased to see another significant step forward by the whole team in terms of execution and reliability.
"We have an upgrade package coming for Miami and I’m excited to see what that can deliver — thank you to all the teams in Indianapolis, Charlotte, Silverstone and Germany for their continued hard work. Finally, I was very relieved to see that Ollie Bearman was OK after his big impact.”
