Nicholas Latifi:
"I think out of all the first four races so far, this was the race
where in duration the car felt the best and the most predictable. The
car felt alive and it was really nice to drive. In the first lap I made
a mistake and went off and lost the track position, but besides that I
had a lot of confidence to push. It was quite an enjoyable race, as it
is much nicer when you are in the fight with other cars." |

George Russell:
"This was the first race where we have been pretty fast, and our
Sunday pace matched our
Saturday, so that is positive. We have put a lot of effort in to focus
on our pace today, so we are going in the right direction. After the
Safety Car, the car felt strong. I managed to overtake Kimi (Raikkonen)
and I caught Antonio (Giovinazzi). If we can maintain a good qualifying
position ahead of the Alfa Romeos and the Haas’ there’s no reason we
can’t stay there on merit on a Sunday." |

Dave Robson, Senior Race Engineer:
"Silverstone delivered another exciting race and whilst the safety
cars bunched the field up, we can be reasonably pleased with our pace
and the result. We now have a good baseline to use for some further
tests next week when we return to Silverstone for the fifth race of the
season.
Both drivers drove well today and, with the help of the experts in the
garage, were able to manage their tyres to the end of the race whilst
also dealing with the gusty conditions. There is still a lot of
opportunity to push the car harder, but we are making good progress and
will continue to do so next week. As usual, the pit crew did a great job
and the double stop that they were able to complete during the second
safety car period helped us gain some valuable track position with both
cars." |
