Elbon: I should have been more patient in my duel with Charles.

      Alex Albon finished fifth at Imola, and if only recently such a result could have been dreamed of at Williams, today he cheerfully announced that he was slightly disappointed.

      Alex Albon (5th): "It's a bit of a strange experience, because if we're only judging by our pace, we should be fighting for third or fourth place. And this is without taking into account the impact of the safety car on the course of the race, only at the expense of pace.

      I am ready to admit that we were a little lucky when the virtual safety car mode was introduced, but then, when a real safety car drove onto the highway, we were less lucky. In general, it turns out that I took 5th place, but I'm still a little upset, although it's even strange to talk about it! (laughs)

      I probably could have done things a little differently when I was fighting Charles Leclair, because I ended up being beaten by Lewis Hamilton. Perhaps I should have been more patient in the duel with Charles. To be honest, it seemed like I could even catch up with Oscar Piastri on fresh tires, the pace was so good. In general, I am satisfied.

      I try to stay realistic and often tell myself: "It might not happen again." But then we arrive at the next race and we're going fast again. To be honest, I have to guess, is this only due to a lucky combination of circumstances or not?

      We were really fast in both Miami and Imola. And I assumed that we would be fast in Miami, but not this weekend. It seems that new opportunities are opening up before us.

      I do not rule out that we will perform well in Monaco. However, I really think that we will be able to show a good result there. We will certainly have difficulties in Barcelona, but we must continue to fight and try to have fun as long as possible."

      Carlos Sainz (8th): "Of course, I'm upset now, because this is another weekend when we really had a good pace, but for one reason or another we don't have much luck on Sundays. It's a shame to miss the chance to finish in the top five, even though we were faster than Mercedes and Ferrari today.

      Analyzing the race, I think we made a pit stop too early, and then the VSC mode affected our result. We must continue to work on how to exchange information and interact more effectively during the race. But we will make improvements, I have no doubt about it. We will continue to adjust the team, and now Monaco awaits us."
