Oliver Bearman, DNF
“We had a good start and a good first lap, and then of course the red flag came out. After that, the engine turned off on the formation lap, and because we haven’t had any time with the car yet, we’re not entirely sure what the issue was, but on my side, I felt a total switch-off, which is a shame. It’s been a really horrible weekend, not the one we wanted to come back to, but we have some updates coming next week, and I really hope they can better our performance.”
Esteban Ocon, DNF
“We haven’t had any reliability issues this year, this is the first one, and we think it’s related to the PU, but we’ll need to look into it first to properly understand. Both cars had issues, so neither of us finished the race, but it wasn’t going to change the world as we weren’t in point scoring positions anyway. The updates are coming, they’re needed, so we’ll see what the impact is.”
Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal
“It’s very disappointing to finish the weekend on a double DNF with PU failures, so we need to look into it. It’s a shame, as Ollie virtually had no race, and with Esteban, we struggled a bit more in the race than in qualifying. In terms of trackside, I think what we got out of the car – before the failures – is what we had. The pit stops were very good, and with Esteban’s, stop we did our quickest of the season. That’s the positive, so I hope when we get a slightly faster car, we can make use of it.”
