Max Verstappen: "I didn't expect to be on the podium today, it was quite eventful at the beginning and I had a good start.

However, I went into the kerb, started bottoming out, avoided the wall by going on the grass and got back on to the track. It was quite hectic and the grip wasn't there on the Medium tyre, we quickly realised it wasn't a great tyre and tried to extend on it as much as we could. As soon as I was on the Soft tyre it felt better and we were more competitive. We did the perfect strategy, really optimised the final stint and I was enjoying it. At the end with the virtual safety car, it was unfortunate timing but sometimes it works for you and sometimes it doesn't and that is just racing, but it would have been an exciting finish. I have said before that we need everything to go perfectly for the rest of the season and it wasn't perfect this weekend, so we will just need to continue optimising our performance as much as we can. However, even with a difficult weekend, to still be on the podium is a great result. We need to analyse everything and see what we can do better to come back stronger: it will be tough but we will give it everything that we can."

Yuki Tsunoda: "Unfortunately, today ended in frustration for me. There was a real opportunity to score good points for the Team but we were unfortunate with the long pit stop which disrupted a promising strategy for us, but that's racing and it happens. It's frustrating to have missed out on the points as we still have positions to play for in the Constructors', but I'll take the positives away. I was able to maximise my start again and make up a couple of positions before settling into the Medium run. In the first stint I wasn't too far off from Max, I was lapping consistently close to him and felt that I showed some of the best long run pace I have in my time with the Team. This afternoon just didn't go my way, but I'll keep pushing as I have done throughout the year."

Laurent Mekies: "Well done to the whole Team for never giving up on a weekend when we have been struggling a bit more than we wanted with the car. Everyone pushed hard to get to a better place and the support we got from Milton Keynes and here trackside was very strong. It was never quite enough to fight for the win here but allowed us to get another important podium with Max. His drive made the strategy work very well for us, so very well done to the strategy team because we committed to a difficult one-stop while starting on a very tricky Medium tyre, his second stint was mega, he didn't let the pace drop and what he managed to extract from the car was what we needed to make the race work. He was taking six to seven tenths out of Charles per lap and we would have had a proper fight in the last few laps without the VSC. It is part of the game, we don't control the VSC, and it's cost us a nice battle to watch and perhaps a few points. The pace from Yuki was also fast today, especially his first stint on the Medium. Unfortunately we had a fairly long pitstop with him, which is not the sort of thing which usually happens with our super strong pit crew."
