Starting off with Pierre Gasly losing track positions from a pit stop / safety car in which he did similiarly to last race which meant a lot of work for the French driver getting back into the points-scoring places.

A long battle with Lance Stroll took a toll on Gasly's tyres / making tiny mistakes in which lost spots to Alfa Romeo's Valtteri Bottas thus crossing the finish line in P9.

Gasly comments, "I'll take those two points today! It's been quite an unfortunate race for me, I managed to pass two cars at the start, but then I got unlucky pitting right before the safety car and dropped to P14."

He adds, "I was pretty mad at the time, but I stayed focussed and managed to come back through to P9. I had a nice battle with Lance which I enjoyed, it was pretty intense on a track like this, but in the end I got the best of him."

He continues, "Objectively, it's been a tough weekend for us, so I think we can be quite happy with the result and to leave with two points. I still feel like we've got a few things to improve on, we've got some new parts coming in the next few races, so we've got to keep up with the others if we want to keep fighting for these positions."

He concludes, "We would like to be a bit further up in the order, so we'll keep pushing.”
