Sergio Pérez (Racing Point, 1st): “I’m speechless. I hope I am not dreaming. For many years I have dreamed of living this moment. 10 years of career and it’s amazing. I do not know what to say. After the first lap I lost the race, but I didn’t want to give up. I rode again, tried to do my best. This year the season has not been lucky for us, but today the wheel has finally turned. I had great merits, Mercedes had problems at the end, but we had a great race. Returns? I made a mistake behind the security car. I had a bad lock and therefore vibrations during the first laps. But I managed to recover in the second period, I don’t know how. I told the team that the car looked like a limousine. Really easy to drive without vibrations. We had a fantastic pace. I think we read the race quite well today. 2021? First of all, I am at peace with myself. What will happen is not in my hands. I know I want to continue and if I’m not on the grid this year, I certainly will be in 2022. “.
Esteban Ocon (Renault, 2nd): “I have no words. I cried at the finish line. That’s how excited I am. It has been a difficult season for us. The work did not always pay off, but we kept pushing and working with great motivation. Achieving this was very important. When there are fewer people who believe in you, it is even more important to you. Today the hard work has finally paid off. Daniel was a fantastic point of reference. His season, the team’s second, has been very positive. But I think that I have also progressed, I have managed to get closer and in the end I got this podium which is really extraordinary. “.
Lance Stroll (running point, 3rd): “Fantastic race for the team. I’m disappointed because I think I could have won too. There was a problem at the pit stop and Esteban passed me at that point. I thought I had the rhythm, also considering what Sergio did. I couldn’t overtake Esteban at the end, but I’m happy for the team. It is our first double podium, it is what we needed this weekend also for our championship. Curve 4? I made some mistakes and couldn’t defend myself against Sergio. I am happy for him, he was a great driver for the team, he has been waiting for this victory for a long time.“.
