rrivabene: A shame, because the result could have been better. We didn’t get a great
at penalised us for the rest of the race, on a track where overtaking is difficult. Our
was very good, as indeed was our strategy. Once again, both Seb and Kimi proved
driving great races.

nley Congratulations to the team on another double points finish. The 14 points
ngthen our fourth place in the championship and are a nice reward for a weekend
maximised all our opportunities. Esteban achieved his best ever result in F1 and
xth place means he has now finished in the points in fourteen consecutive races.

Steiner: The weekend ended how it started – badly. I think the best thing we can do
hind us and concentrate on Spain. Obviously, Romain had the incident when Palmer
m at turn two. That was his race done. With Kevin, he got the five-second penalty
ut us out of the running.

r: You cannot hide behind a result like this: finishing 14th is not why McLaren-Honda
g. We are working hard to make sure this level of performance doesn’t last for long.
t’s still extremely disappointing to run into reliability and performance issues during a
end – we must work together to pull ourselves out of this position.

A fantastic first win for Valtteri and an amazing day for him. He controlled the race
great start, then a perfect restart after the Safety Car and a fantastic first stint where
gap on the UltraSoft. Lewis had to manage temperatures from very early on, which
ouldn’t unlock the potential of the undercut around the stops.
