AI GeneratedThe driver reflects on a challenging race characterized by a dramatic recovery. Despite early setbacks including a puncture and a broken front wing, the driver managed to secure P4. The result is seen as a strong team effort (P3 and P4) that silences external rumors and demonstrates unity within the team.
Well, what a rollercoaster. I mean, is it mixed emotions? Because the fight back was brilliant,
but I guess without needing the fight back, who knows how good it's going to be?
Yeah, I'm not sure how much more we could have done in terms of position with a completely smooth
race, to be honest. Everything that could have gone wrong in the first part of the race went
wrong. Everything that could have gone right, though, in the second part of the race went
right for us. So at the end of the day, I think P4 on my side was the best I could do.
I didn't have a good feeling with the car. I had quite a lot of inconsistencies and just
struggled to use the maximum potential of the car. And then obviously the first part of the
race was very, very tricky with the slick tyres at first and with the puncture and the broken
front wing. And then, yeah, just trying to save what we call save. And P4 at the end of the day
is a good result considering the first part of the race. And a very stable result for the team
as well. P3, P4 and a lot of noise coming into the weekend. You went out there and you got a
good haul of points, didn't you? So from that perspective, encouraging.
Yeah, I mean, relatively happy that we have done, I think, the best we could do on a weekend like
this. But if we look back at the race, I think it's one of those races where maybe the end result
is the maximum we could have done. But as a team, there are plenty of things we need to learn from
and do better next time we find ourselves in these conditions. But anyway, I mean, I'm
happy that we have a good race here and hopefully that stops a little bit the silly rumours that
there are around the team. I mean, Fred is doing absolutely everything in order to bring back
the team to the top and we are all doing that. And to see all of these headlines in the last few days
haven't been nice at all. So we are very united and that's the most important.
And I just hope we are back on the top step of the podium as soon as possible.
