QUOTES:

"I am very happy with this sixth place, because it was hard fought. We started our fight yesterday when we put a great lap in the Qualifying session and we fought again today. I passed both Toro Rossos through the outside at Turn 3 in Lap 1; first Albon, racing side by side with him after Turn 1, and then Kvyat. It was risky, but no doubt it payed off!".

"When I saw other cars pitting under the Safety-Car, I pushed to create some space. I am really proud of this result. We scored very important points in a track that didn’t suit us too much. We must keep on working to improve".
