and to Antonio (Giovinazzi) and his team mates in car #51, for winning the Drivers’ title. They all did an amazing job and the whole team in Bahrain deserves to celebrate this achievement.

If we manage to stay ahead after the start we have a chance to bring home a good result for the team.
Big congratulations to our team in WEC who secured the Constructors’ title for the first time in 53 years today,

It was very tight today, and I put in good laps in Q2 and Q3, so I’m satisfied to be starting the race from third place tomorrow because none of us expected this given what a challenging weekend we’ve had so far and the team did a really good job today.

As for qualifying, I’m happy to have put it all together. We changed the car a bit after the Sprint this morning which gave us some more performance.

Still, a lot can happen on this track, as we’ve already seen today, so we’ll give it everything and try to put up a strong fight tomorrow.

We made some changes to the car afterwards that helped on the straights and in the high-speed corners, but unfortunately we couldn’t get the rear tyres into the right window in Q2 and that cost us.
