Nicholas Latifi:
"It was a tough one, but overall, I thought I did a much better job
in terms of the driving and I felt more comfortable behind the wheel.
Today I had to fight a few cars, most of the fighting was with George,
but that was nice to experience a bit of that consistently. We were
lacking more pace than we thought coming into the race, so it was a
shame we couldn’t fight more. We have some homework to do, but we still
learned a lot which is the main thing." |

George Russell:
"Firstly, I need to say sorry to the team. I completely messed it
up in the early stage of the race. I made a good start and maintained
the position and was trying to hold it on the outside of Turn 6 and just
completely lost it. There was no grip out there and I need to say my
apologies to the team. Who knows what today could have been, but I’ll
bounce back next week." |

Dave Robson, Senior Race Engineer:
"It was a tough day today. We knew that we had outperformed the car
yesterday with George and we were prepared to be defensive, but we
didn’t think that today would be quite so tough. On a positive note, we
got both cars home and we made some clear improvements to the car from
last weekend. Our drivers were able to race each other cleanly, and the
opportunity to race at the same venue in cooler conditions was very
valuable for Nicholas’s understanding of the Pirelli tyres. We need to
go through everything again in the next couple of days and see where we
can find some extra pace for next week in Hungary. There were some good
things from this weekend but overall it is clear that the car needs
improving in all areas." |
