“Points were the target today, and we achieved that: it’s nice to be back in the top ten as it had been a while, despite all our hard work, and this point is for everyone at Alfa Romeo. It may be just one point, but it is a good reward for the job done to...
“Today has been reasonably successful. The car worked quite well on the wet tyre early in FP3 and then the Inters later on. Then in Quali, we decided to swap to the softest compound quite early and that worked out quite well for us and we managed to get two reasonably b...
Q: (Veljko Jukic – Auto Focus) Kimi, when we look at a race today, how of your concentration is spent on taking care of tyres, on fuel consumption and on pure racing? KR:Obviously it depends a lot on the conditions and the circuit that we’re on. Some circuits you have to do so...
at an unfortunate point. So when Max was right behind, I had to go on the defensive, and I thought to myself "Bro, you're not getting by - not today!" It was physically such a demanding race, so I'm relieved that it's over now - it felt like such a long night, but I'm ...

“After a reasonable FP3 session where we improved our balance and tyre management compared to yesterday, we went into Qualifying with the target of getting Alex into Q3. “The target for Daniil today was to out-qualify George Russell, who will also receive a power unit penalty. He ...
"It was an underwhelming qualifying session today, particularly as we were only a few tenths off the fastest time in FP3. The conditions were different between the sessions, and we suffered from that. We have a car that is difficult and small changes can cause it to be outside of...
"Both drivers showed good pace across the compound range and were able to gather a lot of useful data and experience. There isn’t a lot of working time between now and FP3, but we will use what time there is to learn from today’s running and find some more pace from...
