"Still, reliability was strong and our overall execution improved compared to Miami. The foundations are there; the next step is turning it into points."

"It’s frustrating because the potential for points was there - but we take the positives and shift our focus to Monaco."

"The margins remain extremely tight, and with continued development, we are confident we can make that next step more regularly. Looking ahead to tomorrow, the pace we demonstrated in the Sprint gives us encouragement for the race. "

"The biggest unknown will be the weather conditions, with significantly cooler temperatures and the possibility of rain expected. As none of the teams have yet run these cars in wet conditions, it could create a very unpredictable scenario and add another strategic dimension to the race."

“Around this track, with the low grip levels, you’re constantly fighting the balance and hanging onto the car, so it wasn’t easy out there. Looking at the bigger picture, it’s been a decent result considering how the weekend started for us."

The main topic has really been the drivability and power unit side, and this circuit exposes those areas quite a lot. Nevertheless, we managed to get the car into a much better window for qualifying and the balance felt reasonably good."

“There’s still work to do, but tomorrow is another opportunity, especially if conditions change, and we’ll aim to make the most of it.”

"Nico did a very good lap, on the other hand, and I reckon that's where we are standing in terms of pace. Tomorrow could be an interesting one, especially looking at the weather forecast."

"I haven’t driven this new generation of cars in the wet yet, so let’s see what’s going to happen. We’re still struggling with the starts, as we saw earlier today in the Sprint, but if we manage to get that right, we could build something during the race.”

"It is obviously frustrating to miss on the final segment of Sprint Qualifying for such small margins but, on the positive side, it was good to see that both drivers could get the car right into the right window."

"This puts us in a reasonable position for tomorrow’s Sprint and also gives us confidence heading into the main race itself. There’s still a bit of work to do overnight, and hopefully we can find those four hundredths to make a crucial step forward.”

"With the Sprint tomorrow morning, there’s still plenty to play for. We’ll take the learnings from today, keep pushing and aim to put ourselves on the right side of things tomorrow.” 

"Still, I think we can be quite satisfied with what we’ve put together. Looking at where we stand, I think we have a realistic chance of being in the mix in the top ten tomorrow."
