Helmut Marko: "There are no more chances for the title. Certainly, it's impossible. We didn't perform at our best. Overtaking was really difficult, it should have been enough with just one pit stop, but even then, we could only aim for sixth or fifth place.
At the start of the race, the tires quickly lost their effectiveness; we hoped that after the pit stop, we could overtake, but Max was only able to run a few laps at the pace of the leaders, and then the speed dropped. We need to find the cause."
