A fantastic result for the team, constantly being at the front is exceptional but we must try to maintain this position tomorrow too."

Piastri: “Yesterday was a difficult day, we were faster than we showed. We struggled to get the car into the right window. In this sense we did a better job today and these conditions suit us a lot. This situation happened in Monte Carlo and Canada. We had a few scares, but then in Q3 we put together a great lap and achieved an exceptional result. The updates are working, I can't stop thanking the team enough for keeping pushing. If we think about where we were at the beginning of the season and where we are now it's a huge step."
