Nicholas Latifi:
"It was a very tricky race, probably the trickiest race I have done
so far in Formula One, but I think I managed it quite well. It is
definitely a track that doesn’t suit our car, either on low or high
fuel, with the low speed corners and the bumps. It was very tough out
there to manage, but I feel like I looked after the tyres as best I
could. I did have some more pace than George at various points in the
race, but ultimately, we wouldn’t have been in the position to score
points. There was no Monaco chaos, but that’s just how it goes sometimes
here." |

George Russell:
"It was a pretty straightforward race and we finished where we
deserved to be with the pace of the car. The race was uneventful, with
nothing too exciting going on, but that’s just Monaco sometimes. The
performance wasn’t as good as we had hoped but that wouldn’t have
changed the result. Nevertheless, putting this car flat out around the
streets of Monaco, lap after lap was really fun. Next up is Baku and we
will keep on pushing." |

Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance:
"Today has been difficult and with no incidents, we weren’t able to
make much progress. George lost a place at the start to Alonso, but
Nicholas was able to overtake Tsunoda, who had started on the Hard tyre.
From there we were locked in a private battle between our own cars and
Tsunoda. We were able to manage the cars and tyres, and although we
struggled a little in the opening stint, the pace was improved on the
Hard tyre and we were able to hold off Tsunoda during the final few
laps, with Nicholas doing a great job to stay ahead of a much quicker
car.
We always expected this weekend to be tough but having not raced on the
streets in Monaco for a couple of years, it was good to come back and
learn a few more things about the FW43B on a very different style of
circuit. Some of this will help us directly at future events in 2021 and
the rest will be valuable when we return to Monte Carlo next year.
Our attention now turns to Azerbaijan and a very different street
circuit race in Baku." |
