“Today was really great. I enjoyed this race very much. The entire race went very smoothly, from the pit stops to the tire strategy. It really couldn’t be better! It’s great to be able to finish 1-2 here and I’m quite satisfied with today’s performance.”

Teammate Sergio Perez also performed superbly. He retired early from last year’s F1 Japan Grand Prix, but eight months later on the weekend, he maintained his strong form and strength and won second place. He said:

“We can win in this way. It still performed well in many medium-speed and high-speed corners, which means it can also perform well in other places. It was a very good weekend!”
