Nicholas Latifi:
"Not the result we wanted today. I felt after the second lap that
the tyre could be a struggle. However, we made a decision as a team to
go for it and to try that tyre. It didn’t feel bad in practice, but we
need to understand why it didn’t work as well in the Sprint. We had
nothing to lose, so we’ll reset and see what we can do tomorrow." |

Alex Albon:
"We had a good start but then had to avoid a crash so lost a few
positions, which was frustrating. I don't regret the tyre choice; we
were generally struggling with pace out there, especially when we were
following other cars and the wind changed quite a lot which didn't help
us. We were better when we were in clean air, but we know what we can do
better for the race. I feel the penalty I got was a little harsh. I'm
braking in a sensible place and I wasn't trying to push anyone off, I'm
staying away as much as I can. But I feel when you put yourself on the
outside with a car with limitations, you're putting yourself at risk.
It's a shame because we lost a few places with that penalty. It was a
tough race for us today, but we'll fight back tomorrow and hopefully
come back stronger." |

Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance:
"The Sprint was very frustrating. We chose an aggressive strategy for
both cars and showed some decent pace. However, a penalty for Alex was
very penalising and undid a lot of the good work from yesterday.
Overall, it was a very busy Sprint with numerous incidents, and this has
at least confirmed that a lot can still happen tomorrow." |
