Hajar: The team had the best weekend of the year in Las Vegas.

      Isack Hadjar finished eighth in Las Vegas, which allowed Racing Bulls to extend their lead over Aston Martin by another four points in the battle for sixth place in the Constructors' Championship. His teammate Liam Lawson finished the race in sixteenth place.

      Isack Hadjar (8th): "I'm happy with today's race – we did everything we could. Before the start we had a lot of questions, since in practice we didn't get to work on long runs. Perhaps we were too conservative with the tyres because we expected more severe graining, but in the end we could have attacked at full strength throughout the race.

      I'm proud of the team for the work done in Vegas and I believe we had the best weekend of the year. From the first practice session we didn't make a single mistake and did everything that was necessary. Four points is a nice reward.

      Now I'm confidently looking forward to the final two races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi, which I think suit our car better."

      Liam Lawson (16th): "I'm disappointed, because the car was quick this weekend. It was very slippery into the first corner, and as soon as I decided to brake the cars ahead of me had already braked, and I had nowhere to go.

      Today we should have scored points with both cars given our starting positions, so it's a shame it ended like this. But a positive is the car's pace, and we'll take advantage of that in Qatar."
