McLaren F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix racing in honor of Mansour Ojjeh

AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX
BAKU Street Circuit
4-6 June 2021
Sunday, June 6th 2021

“Today, we were racing in honour of our long-term friend, supporter and fellow racer”

LANDO NORRIS, #4
      Started     9th (due to three-place grid penalty)            
      Finished     5th            
      Fastest lap      1m45.326s on lap 41 (+0.845s, 7th)             
      Pit-stops     2, lap 7 [Soft/Hard] (3.1s) and lap 48 [Hard/Soft] (changed under red flags)             

“Happy with the end result today, fifth was the best we could do. It was a long race with it being difficult to overtake in the middle. There were a few crashes here and there that allowed us to gain a few places, and then two overtakes on the final restart was great.

I think it was a good recovery from where we were at the beginning of the race after a pretty poor lap one, just because I got unlucky. A decent amount of points for us as a team. Onto the next one!

“Finally, I want to pass my condolences on to Mansour Ojjeh’s family. This result was for him today.”

DANIEL RICCIARDO, #3
      Started     13th            
      Finished     9th            
      Fastest lap      1m45.713s on lap 43 (+1.232s, 14th)             
      Pit-stops     2, lap 11 [Soft/Hard] (2.3s) and lap 48 [Hard/Soft] (changed under red flags)             

“There were moments today in the race where I was thinking ‘I hope it becomes a bit more exciting’ and suddenly it did!

“We had some positive moments, but also a few difficult periods. I flat-spotted the Hard a bit, so that became tricky for the last few laps before the red flag, but not too bad beforehand.

The last start, I felt like I got a good launch, and had a good run on the outside but there wasn’t really much room with a couple of cars on the inside. It just all bottlenecked into Turn Two and I felt a hit from behind. I couldn’t really do much, but we’ll keep working on our plan and keep moving forward.

“I also just want to pay tribute to Mansour and send my condolences to Kathy and his entire family. He made a massive contribution to both McLaren and the entire sport, and he will be greatly missed.”
