In Baku, the McLaren team earned points with two cars…
Daniel Riccardo (8th): “I’m happy to have earned some points for myself and the team – I haven’t finished in the top ten in a long time. The race was intense, Lando and I used different strategies, so in the beginning I was a bit faster on the Hard tires and we resorted to team tactics, then he was faster on the Hard, and again team tactics were needed.
I don’t think we would have had enough speed to challenge Fernando – on the straight we narrowed the gap, but he was very fast. We must try to reduce the drag – this is our Achilles heel this weekend. I think we have achieved the maximum possible result. I’m glad the weekend went more smoothly than in Monaco.”
Lando Norris (9th): “In general I am satisfied. It was possible to achieve more, but I had no luck with the virtual safety car – this happens in Baku.
With our configuration of the car, it was difficult to overtake, although the pace was good. All in all, we got the best possible result today, but we’re aiming for more, so we’ll continue to work on fixing weaknesses and aim for a better performance next week in Montreal.”
