He started the race from P14 after experiencing some power unit issues in the wet qualifying session on Saturday. He did not really get a good start and fell back a couple of positions before reclaiming them on the track. Yet he could not make any progress because of his engine issues throughout the race.

“We were unlucky today in many places, and also just didn’t have the pace to race and overtake the people we wanted to race against. It was very difficult to overtake in general and that hurt our pace.”

“We simply couldn’t get into the positions we wanted to be in. I think the pace wasn’t too bad, still not good enough, but not too bad. Just the fact we couldn’t overtake, hurt us badly today,” said the McLaren driver.
