“Mexico was a challenging weekend for the team, and we felt there was more we could have done, especially as Nico was in contention for points until the red flag. We can’t take away from the positives, however, particularly Gabi’s recovery to finish in the points despite very limited running in practice. We know there are areas where we need to improve, and with another race coming up immediately, our focus is on taking those lessons forward and making the most of the opportunities ahead with both cars.

“Interlagos is a circuit with a lot of history and character, and one where conditions can change quickly. With the midfield as competitive as it is, putting together a clean weekend and executing well in every session will be crucial. It’s also a particularly special weekend for Gabi, racing in front of his home crowd, and we’ll be working hard to give both drivers the best possible opportunity to fight for points.”

“Mexico wasn’t quite the weekend we had hoped for. There were a few things that didn’t go our way, and some homework to do, but the nice thing about back-to-back races is that you don’t have much time to dwell on it. It’s straight on to the next one.

“Brazil is always one of my favourite races of the year. Interlagos is a proper old-school circuit, with a great atmosphere and some very special memories for me. It’s a short, intense lap and the weather can always throw something into the mix, which keeps things interesting.

“With it being Gabi’s home race, it’s a special weekend for him and the whole team too. I’m looking forward to being back and hopefully having a stronger weekend.”

“It was good to come away from Mexico with some points, especially after such a challenging weekend with very little running. We worked hard to recover, and while there’s still plenty we need to improve, it’s definitely a positive result to take into my home race.

“Racing in Brazil is always going to be very special for me. Last year was my first experience of driving in front of my home crowd, and the support I received was incredible. I grew up dreaming of moments like this, so to now be living them, and having the Brazilian fans cheering for me, means a lot.

“I’m really looking forward to going back to Interlagos and hopefully giving everyone something to celebrate. We know the midfield is still very close, and nothing comes easily, but I’ll be giving everything to make it a good weekend for the team.”
