"Good memories racing in Monza and I always enjoy coming back here – the track, the fans and the energy are really special. We've got some good running in today so we now need to look at the data and see what we can do overnight.

"We came here with realistic expectations, the car has its strengths and weaknesses and this is a track where we’re expecting a more challenging weekend than our most recent performance in Zandvoort and Budapest."

"It was an okay Friday for us with a lot of grip on this asphalt and these temperatures. We did a mixture of high fuel and low fuel running today and I didn't feel that competitive, so we need to try to find more pace overnight."

"We came to Monza with expectations that this weekend was going to be challenging for us, because this track doesn't suit our car so much.

"We did what we could in Qualifying, but it's just so tight across the whole grid so P17 was the maximum that was in it for us today.

"We'll see what we can do tomorrow and hope for some opportunities we can capitalise on."

"I am happy as we weren't expecting to be in Q3 here in Monza.

"I think the car was much better in Qualifying and the team managed the session well with good tyre preparation and traffic management, which can always be a challenge here.

"It's not a secret that we are slower on the straights, but we are starting in the top 10 tomorrow, so we can be a little more optimistic for the race and let's see if we can fight for some points."

"It was an incredibly tight and competitive Qualifying today in Monza with very fine margins.

"The field is very close here and Lance was unfortunate to be eliminated in Q1. The team did a good job of tyre preparation and traffic management, and Fernando did well to make it to P8.

"The atmosphere is one we all love here in Monza, and we will fight hard tomorrow to secure points."

"It was always going to be a tough race for us today here in Monza. We managed to make up a few positions with our tyre strategy and staying out long on that first stint.

"Unfortunately, we had some reliability issues during the pitstop at the end of the race and ended up in P18. We were hoping for a Safety Car which could have helped us at the right time to finish just about in the points but there weren't any opportunities. We will look into it and now look ahead to Baku in two weeks."

"The race was going well for us and we were fighting for some points. We started well and had a good pitstop, but then we had to retire due to a suspension failure. We were using the kerbs the same all weekend, so I think it's bad luck that we ended up having to retire.

"It's a shame to lose more points in the Championship, as we were having a good weekend up to then. We've been more competitive lately, so let's see how we go for the remainder of the season."

"It was a frustrating day for us with some reliability issues preventing us from battling for the points.

"Fernando did well in his first stint and was running strong in P7. He was then forced to retire his car with a suspension failure.

"Lance drove well and managed a long stint on the Hard tyres. Ultimately, we were hoping for a Safety Car which in the end never came. We then had another reliability issue with his pit-stop, which dropped him down the order.

"We will regroup back at the AMRTC and look to bounce back in Baku."
