1st place: Bartelli Bottas (Mercedes)
“What a mood! It’s been a while since my last win, but I thought I had a chance to run, and luckily the situation was on my side this time. The start was a bit tricky. Brake When I entered the ng zone , a bug hit the visor and I couldn’t see the brake placement well so I went deep. I was wondering. After that Lewis was penalized and once in clean air the pace was very strong. I was able to control everything without worries I need to keep this momentum going in the future. There are a lot of races left and I don’t know what will happen, so I’ll keep pushing and see what happens in the end without giving up. “
2nd place: Max Felstappen (Red Bull Honda)
“Since this circuit is not going very well for us, I think the second position today is a delight. It is good that we have scored a lot of points for the team after a long time. The inside of the grid is a grip. It was quite difficult to do a few corners just after the start due to slow speed, but I was able to quickly pass Daniel (Ricardo). On medium tires, oversteer occurred and it was difficult to chase the Mercedes machine. However, after switching to hard tires, it was fast and I was able to focus on my own race. I’m happy to be on the podium for the first time in a long time, and I finished 8 seconds behind Bottas at this circuit. I think it’s a good result. “
3rd place: Luis Hamilton (Mercedes)
“First of all, I’d like to express my sincere thanks to all the fans who came out this weekend. Did you enjoy the race? It wasn’t a great day for me, but it can’t be helped. You have to look it up and find out exactly why what did you get these two penalties. Of course, he pushed you back and I was trying to run as smooth as possible for the first time. Stint was a challenge. I think I did pretty well on Sob, but I have tried to get back all I can Since then. It was such a day. Still, I got on the podium, got some points and so many. I am grateful I did not lose. I would like to congratulate Bartelli on his victory. I will accept the points and move on. “
4th place: Sergio Pérez (race point)
“It was a lonely race! Today I made the most of the car and I am very happy because the fourth was the best result we could achieve. The first round was really important. Grid I knew it would be difficult to start on the dirty side of the game, but I disappointed that the Renaults took two positions on the kick. I think the pace was very similar to theirs and I got the tires on the first shift. It was very important to be able to save a lot and go back. We did a great job implementing that strategy. We feel very good with the next race. Immediately looking forward to getting an update and aiming for better results in the next race. I have a strong car this year and I enjoy driving. “
5th place: Daniel Ricardo (Renault)
“I’m happy with today’s results and it’s a decent result for the team. I got off to a great start and went up to third in the first few corners, but then I came back to fifth. The race on hard tires Changed. The pace was good, but I made a mistake when I took Esteban out at Turn 2 and they gave me a time penalty. It is my responsibility because I blocked the front brake. But I corrected the mistake and I succeeded. I was able to recover. I am quite happy with my day and the final results. We got good points. The machine is working well and is reliable. Everything is well organized. There “
6th place: Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)
“It was tough at the beginning. I got off to a pretty bad start and lost a few positions at Turn 1, but I was able to make it up quickly and the performance after that was very good. Today’s pace is not too bad. The first run on the tires. Mitium was quite strong and I was able to keep the tires longer. I saw a lot of degradation in the race simulation on Friday so the tires today I was paying special attention to the management. I have been working on it and I am glad it worked. Today I was able to maximize what I have and that is the most important thing. It is a positive weekend for us. It also helps me mentally. “
7th place: Esteban Okon (Renault)
“It was a great team result and overall good. The machine was not the same when I put on the hard tires. It was a bit of a trolley to drive and I had a hard time holding and balancing. I was not as happy as I was. I almost could. keep up with Max (Felstappen) in the early race software so I had to review it. I could have scored more points but the results and the content of the race I’m happy. I know the car is fast and that’s good for the next race. We’re on the right track. We’re catching up with the previous ones in the Constructors’ Championship and that’s the goal. We’re there. “
8th place: Danil Kubiat (Alpha Tauri Honda)
“I’m very happy today because the home GP was not very good so far. It was a tough race and I had to push myself all the time to make the strategy work, but I like these races. Hamilton is behind. Even when I was there, I was able to hold it for a few laps and I thought the pace was excellent today. I was always strong in the final on Sunday, so I was also confident this morning. It’s unfortunate that I couldn’t get out of Okon just because I could see seventh place. We were faster, but overtaking on this course was difficult with modern F1 machines. I am satisfied with today’s driving. And I was able to give the team some valuable points. The car and the pace are good so I hope to keep pushing for the rest of the season and hopefully improve my position in the championship. “
9th place: Pierre Guthrie (Alpha Tauri Honda)
“It was not an easy race. I made a good start and was running seventh, but I lost a lot of time while racing Alex (Albon) and Kimi (Raikonen) in the middle of the race. Charles (Leclerc) passed me, but I was also fast, so I was trying to back up. If the virtual safety car was a bit longer, I think the pit stop I did was effective, I finished in less time than I expected, so I lost my position. Still, I was able to pull out. some machines to regain my position. It’s a bit disappointing because the machines were good. It was a good pace so I think I was able to get a little better results. “
10th place: Alexander Alban (Red Bull Honda)
“Today I had to work a lot to get a point, and it was not an easy race. In the early stages, I was using hard tires and riding in a group, so I couldn’t overtake and lost a lot. It improved a bit after switching to medium tires, so I tried to climb the rankings as much as possible, but it was a difficult and frustrating race, I was always in traffic and couldn’t run in clean air. I didn’t do a good lap. I was penalized for changing gearbox, so today It was a race that minimized damage and I have already switched my head to Germany. Two weeks later a smoother race week I hope to convert ”
