"...and unfortunately we started today out of position relative to the pace we had in the car. Gabriel's car stopped on the way to the grid, which meant he had to start from the pit lane. From there, it became a race of attrition, and we were looking for any opportunities that might come our way, knowing how difficult overtaking is around Monaco."

“He kept pushing throughout and gained valuable experience on a challenging weekend. On Nico’s side, we showed good pace and made an early switch to the hard tyre; in clean air, he showed very strong pace but once he caught up with the back of the midfield pack there was little opportunity to make progress.

"The red flag reshuffled the race, and, after the restart, he was involved in an incident at the hairpin that resulted in a 10-second penalty. It was a harsh outcome given the circumstances, particularly as it ultimately cost him a points finish after a determined drive. The result doesn't reflect the pace we showed this weekend, but there are positives to take forward as we focus on the next race.”

"For a while it looked like we made our way into the points, but the penalty put an end to that. After the restart, with only a handful of laps remaining, it was always going to get quite intense. I had to react to avoid the car ahead and moved to the inside, but once I was there..."

"... I was at full lock and there wasn't really anywhere else for me to go. Carlos was on the outside and we made contact. It's frustrating because the pace we showed earlier in the weekend was encouraging, but unfortunately, we weren't able to convert that into a result."

"I had an issue as I was preparing for my practice starts and the car shut off: the crew did a great job to get it going again, but I had to start from the pitlane, and around Monaco that makes life very difficult. Once you are caught in traffic, opportunities are extremely limited and I spent most of the race unable to make progress. That was disappointing, and it added to the frustration from yesterday’s qualifying."

"The positive is that we showed good pace and a good package over the weekend. I think the team did a great job overall this weekend and would have deserved a lot more for it: to have both cars reach the finish is positive, and the crew did an excellent job overnight to repair the damage from qualifying and get my car ready to race."

"Unfortunately, Gabi touched the wall on the entry to the Turn 9 chicane in Q1, which damaged the suspension and brought his session to an early end. On Nico’s side, he had a strong first segment of the session, with P6 in Q1, but we were not quite able to find the pace we had shown previously and ultimately qualified P13."

“Both cars had been consistently in the top ten throughout the practice sessions, so today’s outcome is even more disappointing – but this is the challenge this track poses. Monaco is one of the most demanding circuits on the calendar and can be incredibly unforgiving..."

"...whether through traffic, track position or the smallest mistake, and we experienced some of those challenges today. Tomorrow’s race will be difficult starting where we are, rather than from where we would have been, had we been able to get the most out of our pace.”

"Coming into the session, things were looking a lot more promising, so it's frustrating not to have converted that into a stronger grid position. In the final run, we were a bit unlucky with traffic, which certainly didn't help, but that's part of qualifying around Monaco and there wasn't much I could do about it."

"More generally, we were carrying some damage on the car, which certainly didn't help. Nevertheless, we expected to be a bit more competitive, so we'll need to look through everything and understand exactly how much it impacted us and where the performance went."

“Tomorrow will be challenging from where we start, but Monaco can always create opportunities, so we'll stay focused and look to make the most of whatever comes our way."

"Unfortunately, I wasn't able to deliver that today. We had the pace to fight for a place in the top 10, but I took a few too many risks in Q1 and clipped the wall going into the Swimming Pool chicane. That ultimately damaged the suspension and ended the session for me."

"It’s the sort of mistake that can be understandable in Q3, when you’re pushing to the limit, but not so early in the session. Starting position is crucial in Monaco, we knew it well going into qualifying. I am aware tomorrow won't be easy, but our pace has been encouraging all weekend, and we'll keep fighting to try and make up as much ground as possible."

"That said, everyone will be working hard overnight to find improvements, so we need to make sure we analyse everything from today and put the best package on track tomorrow. Qualifying is obviously very important here, but there's still plenty to get right across the weekend. The focus now is on staying calm, doing our homework and making sure we're ready to maximise our opportunities tomorrow."

"Despite a few hiccups at the beginning of FP1, we managed to get the car into the top ten, which is quite encouraging. FP2 felt smooth and clean, and I was able to consistently improve throughout the session."

"It took a little time to put together a strong lap with the traffic out there, but I'm happy with what we managed in the end. We learned more about our balance and where our limitations are, which gives us a good direction for tomorrow. There's still plenty we can improve, and we'll be working hard tonight to find those extra gains."
