Esteban started from P12 on New Mediums, finished P18, with the Fastest Lap of the Grand Prix: Pit Stops on Lap 31 for New Hards, Lap 51 for New Softs. Fastest Lap: 1min 37.330secs.
Esteban Ocon: “Unfortunately, today my race was compromised by Turn 1 after being hit from behind, which caused me to spin and I fell to the back of the field. I managed to recover a few positions throughout the race, however, we were not in contention for much else after that. We decided right at the end of the race to pit and attempt the Fastest Lap on Softs, which we managed to achieve. We have positives to take from this weekend. The upgrades have shown to be working, especially in Qualifying yesterday, so I look forward to the team continuing to work in this direction and improve the car. Next up is Mexico City and hopefully we can be in a better position to be in contention for points.”
