Max Verstappen, Oracle Red Bull Racing
It feels fantastic to win in Miami; the whole atmosphere this weekend has been incredible and to succeed in the US is always a nice feeling. It was a physically demanding race; I think I must have lost around 3kgs! We had a perfect pace on the minimum tire, which helped make my race. Once we had the pitstop, I managed my time with Charles; I think we were very closely matched on the hard tire. Then the safety car came out, which made it more entertaining for the fans, I had to push hard today, but we made it work. I’m super pleased for the Team; we didn’t have a great start to the weekend, so we’ve come far; a big thank you to everyone.
Sergio Perez, Oracle Red Bull Racing
It was a big disappointment today, but we managed to finish with our points. We were putting the pressure on Carlos, and then we had a problem with the power. It was caused by a sensor failure and meant we lost a lot of energy, which limited our ability to attack. I was a second from Carlos, and then the engine dropped, and I lost around 30 seconds in two laps, and then the issue affected me throughout the race. We had the pace to be up there on the podium, and I pushed as much as possible in our position. It was challenging to look after the tyres, too, it was so hard in the corners, and I was losing a lot of grip towards the end of the race. I went for it after the safety car restarted, but there was no grip, and I couldn’t get past Carlos. We are working hard on reliability, and we will keep pushing as a Team, it is unfortunate, but I am pleased we managed to finish today. In Barcelona, I want to be back battling at the top.
Yuki Tsunoda, Scuderia AlphaTauri
I’m disappointed with today. I struggled with the pace on the first lap and was overtaken by a few cars; then, I couldn’t recover from the rest of the race. We were happy that we’d built up our confidence in the car from FP1, so it’s frustrating to have performed so poorly today.
Pierre Gasly, Scuderia AlphaTauri
It’s a big shame today; the race was going well until the contact with Alonso, where we suffered damage to the car. Unfortunately, it was impossible to stay on track after that, as the car was too damaged and returned to the box Norris and I touched. There are some positives to take away from today. Still, we had a strong start, and the car’s pace was quite good, but we’re disappointed with today’s result.
