''at the end it was a podium, but was it also a frustrating race for you?'' max: ''yeah, i've driven more fun ones before. not a lot went right. the start didn't go great, the tyre choice was and the way we did it as well - so soft, soft, medium - wasn't discussed beforehand as well. so didn't quite understand why that happened. also too many problems with the engine, but that was also the case during qualifying yesterday. so just very inconsistent. then in some turns just not enough engine braking, then it comes in very aggressively, then it didn't switch gears properly. i don't know what to make of it, that's clear.''

mekies: “thanks max that was a very difficult one. sorry it was tough for you out there. it’s P3 and we have quite a few things to tidy up, thanks.” max: “yeah. that was terrible. the pace, wrong tyres, shit pitstop, shit engine braking, just nothing worked so yeah.”
