It was a tough Saturday night in Las Vegas for the team, with Fernando finishing the Grand Prix in P13 and Lance forced to retire on the opening lap. Post-race, Fernando was promoted to P11 after the two McLaren cars were disqualified for technical non-conformity.
Read on for all the reaction trackside following the chequered flag.
A chaotic first corner unfortunately saw Lance hit by Gabriel Bortoleto. The damage he picked up was significant and ended his race.
Fernando also sustained damage in the early stages but was able to continue, though the performance of his car was hampered.
After showing decent pace in the wet during Qualifying, the dry conditions for the race were not favourable, and Fernando, despite his and the team's best efforts, could not hold onto a points-paying position.
The team executed a one-stop strategy with Fernando, switching from Medium tyres to Hard, and pulled off an undercut on Oliver Bearman, though the Haas driver would overtake during the second stint.
Also on the track earlier in the day, Tina Hausmann finished P8 in Race Two of the F1 ACADEMY weekend, securing points in her final outing in the series.
Full focus is now on Qatar next weekend as the season-ending triple-header continues.
