AI GeneratedOscar reflects on a challenging race, expressing personal satisfaction with his performance despite the team's lack of overall pace. He notes that while he was gaining on Charles toward the end, a late safety car hindered his progress. He acknowledges that Red Bull currently holds a significant performance advantage over both his team and Ferrari.
Well, Oscar, what a rollercoaster out there. What's the feeling after that race for you?
Overall, reasonably happy. I think it went pretty well on a personal note. I felt like I did a
pretty good job today, which was good. Unfortunately, we just weren't quick enough to really do that
much. I think the last safety car was a bit of a shame because I was catching Charles pretty quick,
but apart from that, just a tricky afternoon. We didn't quite make the right calls
and ultimately, we weren't quick enough. That was the biggest thing.
Overall, in terms of just general pace, does it feel like you are just a little bit
behind now in Merc, maybe Ferrari, maybe even Red Bull now?
Yes. I think Red Bull clearly here have been incredibly fast.
For sure. I think it's been the strongest they've been. I think clearly whatever they put on the
car in Baku has been a big step forward for them because last weekend without the
bad qualifying they had, they probably would have won. Max nearly won the race anyway.
This weekend, Max did win the race. They've been very, very strong the last couple of weekends.
I think us and Ferrari seem a little bit in a similar ballpark, but that ballpark is not
fighting for race wins. We need to improve. We know that. We'll try our best to make sure we try
and improve.
