Frederic Vasseur: "A good result for the team. Charles had a great start and maintained a high pace throughout the race, competing for the lead. In my opinion, Lewis received too harsh a penalty for the incident on the first lap, but there's no point in discussing the punishment after the finish.
On the fast lap, the SF-26 is slightly behind Mercedes compared to the race distance. This is likely a characteristic of the Mercedes power unit, which affects qualifying results. For our part, we are doing everything to reduce the gap.
In the race, Kimi Antonelli's car had a slight speed advantage on the straights, but a good start and optimal strategy allowed us to compete with him.
Honestly, we performed better in Spa and Silverstone than we expected, which speaks to the results of the team's hard work. We will focus on preparing for Budapest, where we will face a completely different track, and we want to finish the first part of the season with a good result."
