Okon: Do you understand the possibilities of an F1 car in Jeddah

      The Bahrain race was the third in a row in which Haas racers earned points. The team finished fifth in the Constructors' Championship and expects to continue its productive streak at the upcoming stage in Jeddah.

      Ayo Komatsu, Team principal: "The Jeddah circuit is unique because it combines the characteristics of a fast ring and an urban circuit where riders have little margin for error. We will use less downforce than on the tracks we have already raced on this year. The key task will be to stabilize the behavior of the car with lower downforce settings and improve tire performance.

      Jeddah is the first track of the season where Oliver has previously raced in Formula 1. It's hard to say how the VF-25 will behave, but in recent races we have managed to get the most out of the car. We want to keep up the pace and finish the first series of the season with a good result, which turned out to be very difficult for everyone who works on the track and at the base."

      Oliver Berman: "I am very happy to return to Jeddah, because this is the track where I held my first Formula 1 race. It is nice that I have one of the highlights of my life from last year's experience, which was one of the highlights of my life – I made my debut driving a Ferrari, so I will always have pleasant memories of this track.

      Even before I debuted in Formula 1, I really enjoyed racing in Jeddah because it's a fast track where you get a thrill when you're driving so close to the walls. I'm looking forward to coming back to have a full weekend, not just the third practice session, qualifying and race. The stage should be good."

      Esteban Ocon: "Jeddah has an exciting circuit where the rider has to solve difficult tasks. It is fast with a high level of grip on asphalt, but to gain time, you need to pilot as close to the walls as possible.

      Racers like weekends on these tracks because they can feel the power of a Formula 1 car. This year we will arrive in Jeddah later than in previous seasons, so we will have very hot weather around +40C. It's a challenge for all of us, but we need to be prepared for this heat. Overall, I'm looking forward to racing in Saudi Arabia."
