Oscar Piastri (1st): "It wasn't easy for me yesterday, qualifying was one of the most difficult sessions this year, so finishing the weekend with a victory is a wonderful result.
There was a sharp moment in turn 1, and it helped me a little. But I was prepared enough for this, so I was able to avoid complications with Max Verstappen. After that episode, I already knew that we had a good advantage in terms of pace, and the car, of course, worked incredibly well.
We played the first leg very confidently, but when I switched to hard tires, I started having some difficulties – it's good that I was able to create a sufficient advantage in the first leg.
Towards the end of the race, I was in better control of what was happening, although we definitely have something to work on. I'm very happy that I won, I'm glad that we scored so many points. We continue to learn, this process must go on constantly, but I am very glad that we are leaving Miami victorious.
The team is working with incredible tenacity. But two years ago, it was here in Miami that we were the slowest and lost two laps to the leader. But now we've won this Grand Prix with a 35-second advantage over the 3rd-place driver, and that's an incredible result."
Lando Norris (2nd): "When you finish second, you're not particularly happy, but the team is working great, so I don't complain at all. The pit stops were good, the pace was great, and we had a big advantage. Oscar drove great, so overall the mood is not bad.
As always, Max showed that he is a real fighter, and I had to pay a certain price, but that's how it turned out. What can I say? If I hadn't gone on the attack, someone would have been unhappy. If I attack, people complain too. But with Max, it's always a choice – either it ends in an accident, or it's better not to overtake at all.
You'll only get a chance to get ahead of him if you do everything really right and take the perfect position with Max.… But I'm still happy that I finished second today."
