F1 | Racing Point, Otmar Szafnauer: “We must be consistent and win more points already from Bahrain”

Racing Point wants to give continuity to the good performance in Melbourne, with Bahrain just around the corner and two drivers who so far seem to be working in harmony with the team. Stroll, on his debut with his father's team, scored two points in Australia, while Perez had some difficulties but nevertheless performed an excellent qualifying. A promising start for a team that wants to take back what was taken away from them last year with the change of ownership and which in fact caused them to lose the points gained up until Spa.

“Our goal in Melbourne was to get points, so we're happy with how the season has started – said Otmar Szafnauer, Racing Point team principal. Lance had a great race and deserved this result on his debut with our team. He was unlucky in qualifying, but he continued to work hard and recovered on Sunday. Sergio on the other hand was unlucky, losing a few positions at the start and getting caught up in traffic, and as it was very difficult to overtake in Melbourne there was no way to recover the lost ground. Albert Park confirmed that every tenth counts in both qualifying and the race: we have some improvements coming for Bahrain, but the main task will be the new aerodynamic package we introduced in Melbourne. In Sakhir we will know a little more where we stand, because it is a much more traditional circuit than the one in Australia. I expect to see exciting battles this weekend: we learned a lot from the last round and we will use this information to improve our performance level starting from Bahrain, at this stage of the year we just need to be consistent and continue to collect points." .
