“I was really happy with it, a really good launch, I was happy with the position I had. I got close to George, in hindsight, we should have tried to undercut him at that point. We’ll learn from that.
“After the penalty, to be able to do a solid drive, in front of the tifosi, it’s unbelievable. I don’t deserve to be on the podium today, so I won’t, but I’ll go out to the wall and see them.”
On whether a podium is possible this year: “I don’t think so, Charles was giving it everything, Max is up there now, we don’t have the pace of Red Bull, today they were rapid, or McLaren, currently we’re fourth, a podium here or there, there’s a chance to have that at some point, but in terms of pure pace, we don’t have that.”

“It was a nice battle, they just had more pace. I lost the rear multiple times, I couldn’t hope for much better. I tried, unfortunately the pace of the car was not what we expected.”

“I always know it will be a good fight with Max, but didn’t have the speed today. First weekend where we’re a bit slow, but I still really enjoyed it.
On pit-stop: “No idea. I was there for quite a long time, we make mistakes as a team, today was one of them.”
On championship: “I did everything I could, couldn’t do a lot more. Max deserved it, second was our best result, just keep doing what I’m doing.”

“Difficult beginning, not my best first couple of laps. It was pretty lonely from there, struggled a little bit. Car wasn’t exactly how I liked. Happy with the points, I’ll take it.
On the swap: “We went so long, the softs seemed good to put on. We stayed out for safety cars. Yeah… little inchident at the end but that’s OK.
“All in all, a lot of things to learn from this weekend.”
