Pierre Gasly: This is the toughest race of the season.

      At Alpine, no points were earned in Spielberg, with Pierre Gasly's best result being 13th place...

      Pierre Gasly (13th): "After this race, which was probably the toughest of the season, we have a lot to understand. The balance left much to be desired, there was a lack of grip, and the tires wore out quickly – I had to make three pit stops.

      The race didn't start well due to energy issues on the straights. I lost positions, then got caught in traffic, but even on a clear track, the car lacked speed.

      In the last round in Barcelona, we performed well, so I was optimistic and confident that we could overtake the Racing Bulls, but that didn't happen.

      Now it's clear where we need to improve, and I know the team will be looking for answers to take action before the weekend with the Saturday sprint in Silverstone."

      Franco Colapinto (15th): "Not the easiest weekend. We couldn't achieve good grip and find the right pace. Due to the high asphalt temperature, the tires overheated quickly, especially the rears. The car was fast on fresh tires, but then the speed dropped quickly, the car started to slide, and the more it slid, the more the tires overheated.

      We need to understand why this happened – usually, we are more competitive in the race than in qualifying, but today it was not the case. Next time, we need to achieve more; I hope we will be in better shape in Silverstone."
