Berman: Tsunoda's actions were very dangerous.
Oliver Bearman scored a couple of points in Austin for ninth place, Esteban Ocon finished 15th, but Haas were unable to cut the gap to Sauber in the Constructors' Championship because Nico Hülkenberg saw the chequered flag seven and a half seconds ahead of the British driver.
Oliver Bearman (9th): "If someone had told me before this weekend that I'd finish eighth in the sprint and ninth today, I would have been very happy. The weekend really went quite well, and the team scored a few points, but it's clear we could have achieved more. As for the incident with Yuki Tsunoda, I think his actions were very dangerous and ran contrary to the spirit of the rules. Although I managed to avoid a collision, I lost two positions, which is regrettable. I'm disappointed because the car's pace would have allowed us to fight for higher positions."
Esteban Ocon (15th): "A very difficult day, and that's putting it mildly. I gained three or four positions into Turn 1 at the start, but then lost them over the first two laps because the hard tyres lacked grip and the car was sliding. Then I settled into a normal pace, but we were never able to recover what was lost in the first 25 or 30 laps. We understand well why we had so many problems this weekend: the car's behaviour in the high-speed section of the track was very poor, so we had to adjust the aerodynamic balance, which caused us to start losing time in other parts of the lap. There's still work to do on all of this, but it's good that the team at least scored a couple of points today."
