"It was a positive race for us, and it’s great to get some points at one of our home races, with both myself and Yuki finishing in the top 10. After the restart, it was a bit of a lonely race for me once we were on the Hard tyre as there weren't many overtakes to be made. Still, I think P8 was the best result we could have achieved today, and considering the pace Alpine showed throughout the weekend, it was a good damage-limitation race for us. Looking ahead to Madrid next week, I drove the new track in the sim and it looks like a proper drivers’ circuit. I think it’s going to be fun, but it will also present some challenges, as it’s a very technical track. Full credit to the team for the work they’re doing, we have a strong car that has been competitive at every circuit so far, and that gives us a lot of confidence heading into the upcoming rounds."
Yuki Tsunoda, 10th
”We had a good race today, I’m really happy with the result and to be back in the points. A massive thank you to everyone at VCARB for helping me get back up to speed so quickly. I was a little concerned about making the Medium tyres last until the end, but they behaved better than expected. I’m really enjoying learning all the new aspects of the car and continuing to build with every opportunity I get in the car. If any future opportunities come my way, then of course I’ll be ready. But the most important thing is that Isack continues to recover well, and I wish him all the best."
Alan Permane, Team Principal
"It was a solid weekend for us. It’s always special to race in our home country and see the passion of the fans and have the support of our friends and families who joined us today in the grandstands. It wasn’t perfect, but we certainly maximised what we had and ended up with both cars in the points. A great job by both drivers and a special mention to Yuki who scores on only his second time in the car. We’ve got a quick turnaround, so we’ll head back to Faenza tonight, spend tomorrow debriefing and turn our attention to Madring which is approaching fast."
