"Baku was another step on our journey of growth: we went close to scoring points, and we saw another good display of operations, with fast pit stops and solid teamwork. We are all looking forward to seeing how our package will work on a more traditional track layout, one that should more accurately show the benefit of our upgrades. We felt this circuit should suit us better, so the aim is to put ourselves in a stronger position and fight for points, after having narrowly missing out on them last weekend."

"This circuit has been around for a long time and it’s one we haven't raced at for a while. It's not a track that relies on big headline corners, but there are a few sections that are quite technical and reward getting the details right. Add the heat and the humidity, and it always creates an interesting challenge. We learned a few useful things with the new package in Baku, and now it's about building on that and extracting more from it."

(...) so I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do with it in Sepang. It’s a new circuit for me, and it will be important to make the most of the practice sessions to learn everything about it, but I’m excited to get out there. We’ve been close to the points over the last few races, so hopefully we’ll be able to take another step in the right direction and be in the mix again."
