As soon as the Security Automobile got here out, the technique turned mounted for nearly everybody and that made it even trickier to make up positions. Over the previous few races the Staff have given me a powerful automotive and I have been capable of keep as shut as I can to Max, so I am going to look to do the identical subsequent weekend. It was spectacular to see him safe one other win and I’ll assist him as a lot as I can in Abu Dhabi.”

After all, the decisive second was the decision to come back in beneath the Security Automobile and it was one other nice name from our technique crew right here and people working again in Milton Keynes. From there on, Max did not put a foot mistaken, drove two unbelievable stints, taking nice care of his tyres and managed to create a stable hole to the McLarens, which drove us to this most welcome race win! Yuki managed to get better to attain factors and his tempo was promising on the finish of the race as soon as outdoors of the DRS prepare.
