Team Talk - Sunday in Barcelona

Haas 

Esteban Ocon, P13

"It was a very difficult race. We didn’t manage to keep the tyres alive and make them hold the whole race. We had to do three stops because we couldn't hold the rear tyres, they were completely finished every time we were doing a stint. It was very painful and we tried to hold on, but we had no pace at the end of the race. We need to deep dive into the set up, I think we got it wrong this weekend from FP2 to now, so hopefully we can do something better in Austria."

Oliver Bearman, DNF

"It was tough, but we were expecting that. I don't think we were anywhere out of position, if anything we were further forward than we were meant to be with some good pace. Unfortunately, with a few laps to go I was running in P13, which would've turned into P11 with the two cars ahead retiring, and there was an issue with the car so we had to retire. We've got some work to do, it's been a tough weekend and we're going to put our heads together, figure it out and improve for the next race."

Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal

"This weekend the car wasn't quick enough and I think operationally we weren’t good enough. If you look at part of the race where Ollie was on the hard tyre, his pace was decent, but from day one this weekend we didn’t operate at the level we should be operating at and that has had a knock-on effect into today. In the race, communication wasn't good enough. Yes, the car needs to be improved and be faster, but we're not getting the best out of it. As a team we need to look at ourselves and improve very quickly."
