“We’ve responded with a strong performance here in Jeddah”

DANIEL RICCIARDO, #3
Started     11th
Finished     5th
Fastest lap      1m32.716s on lap 43 (+1.982s, 11th)
Pit-stops     1, lap 13 [Hard/Medium] (under red flag) 

“That felt like the longest race ever. The race start was so late, so it already felt like a long day, and then with all the restarts it felt even longer. The starts were good, I always made up positions until the last one where I stayed fourth.

“I used the Hard tyre for the race start, so we couldn’t really use it for the restart and were forced to go on the Medium, and I think the Hard was the better tyre. So, I couldn’t quite get Esteban [Ocon], and I tried to hold off Valtteri [Bottas] as long as I could.

I was surprised how long I held him off, but I think once he let his tyres reset, it was quite hard to keep him behind. I defended him one lap, re-passed him and then he got me. I struggled a bit at the end with the tyres, so I’m happy to have held on to a top five. It certainly makes up for yesterday.”

LANDO NORRIS, #4
Started     7th
Finished     10th
Fastest lap      1m31.914s on lap 49 (+1.180s, 8th)
Pit-stops     1, lap 10 [Soft/Hard] (2.9s)

“A very unlucky day. I think we deserved much more today. The team did a good job and I thought I drove a good race, but the red flag changed everything and ruined any chance of a stronger result, just by being unlucky.

It was a long race after that. So, I’m disappointed. On the positive side, we scored one point again – but I feel we deserved a lot more.”
