I would say that this is a good restart for us: we must continue to put pressure on Ferrari. It was a nice one-two for Mercedes, it's what we've been aiming for since the start of the season and it's great to see this strength back within the team; I hope to continue like this."

“I dreamed of a race like this but I didn't know it would go like this. From the last weekend I arrived with a great desire to win, in the right way, not like in Azerbaijan where I was supported by luck. However, I wanted to understand if I could get back to the front with my own strength; I was really happy when I crossed the finish line because I was very consistent and didn't make any mistakes. Overall it was fun, I enjoyed driving this car.”

“I don't know if this Mercedes will remain like this between now and the end of the season, it may also depend on the track: here we also had a bit of luck, because this track suits us very much, but I hope that this is the Mercedes that we will see for the rest of the season. 'year".

“Red Bull was very strong in the final sector today, I saw it when I was behind Verstappen. In Monaco they will certainly be very fast and it will be difficult to keep up with them; We will see. But let's hope the weather is nice, it's my home race and I like the atmosphere!”.
