Tsunoda: “I let myself be overtaken, it was my fault”

“Today was a difficult race. I made some mistakes and let cars behind me pass while I was trying to overtake the car in front, it was my fault – put the Japanese – we had problems with pace and grip, it was difficult to drive. The positive aspect is that we had a good qualifying and that we will analyze our race pace to understand why we struggled so much. There are things I can improve, so we will look at them and take advantage of them for the future."

Ricciardo: “I remain optimistic: I know that the team cares as much as I do”

Complicated race also for Daniel Ricciardo: fourteenth in qualifying, the Australian slipped to the rear at the pit stop, quite slow, no longer managing to recover and rejoin the group. In the end he is sixteenth, despite a spin at the end that almost sends him into the wall.

“It was a difficult race and, in general, the whole weekend was, very frustrating. During the Safety Car, when almost everyone made pit stops, we made a slow pit stop and with a few laps to go I made a mistake: I attacked the curb too much at turn 1, ending up spinning – explained Daniel – I remain still optimistic, because I know we have had some positive signs and we just need to refine our package. Now we have a week off and we will all be busy setting up the car and making sure we have a good package for the next race. I know the team cares as much as I do. I can't wait to get back to racing in Melbourne, so let's get ready."
