"From the start, things didn’t quite come together – something already felt off on the laps to the grid, and the launch itself wasn’t where it needed to be - clearly an area that needs attention on our side.

"In the race, I had to push early on in dirty air and had a small spin, which made tyre management difficult, and we then had a gearbox issue that ultimately forced us to retire. On the positive side, it’s great to see Gabi scoring points – that’s a really strong result for him and for the team, and it shows the potential we have when things come together."

"The competition is very tight, and while we’ve been close at times, we haven’t quite managed to convert those opportunities. Momentum can swing quickly in this sport, and I’m confident it will come our way again - we just need to keep working, stay focused, and keep pushing as a team."

"We have been through a few races without scoring points, and that has been tough when you can see the potential in the car but haven’t been able to convert it into something concrete - so this surely is a big boost for everyone. Today, we finally showed why we’re here and what our true pace is. Realistically, I think P8 reflects where we currently stand at the moment."

"It’s been a long weekend: we were almost out in Q1 yesterday, and today's outcome could have been completely different had we started from further down the grid. The team did an incredible job to get everything together, put the car in the right window, and then deliver both a strong qualifying session and a solid race. I’m really happy for everyone both trackside, in Hinwil and Neuburg: everyone worked so hard for it, and this further proves the step made with our most recent package."
