Lawson on Racing Bulls' late Monaco car fix

Albon on questioning Williams' Monaco tactics amid deployment issue
Alex Albon said he wondered if Williams was being “too clever” with its Monaco Grand Prix tactics as he dealt with a deployment issue and questioned the strategy during the race. Albon said: "More just I felt very vulnerable out there. I had a deployment issue the whole race, and we were losing four/five tenths down the straights, and then on top we were trying to do the same game as last year... So, for me, it was [a question of] were we too clever at that at that time in the race? In the end, it worked out."

Gasly on Monaco pit-lane speeding penalties
Pierre Gasly said the pit-lane speeding rule is “not right” after two five-second penalties for exceeding the 60kph limit by 0.1kph and 0.4kph dropped him from third at the Monaco Grand Prix to seventh in the final classification. Gasly said: "I know for a fact that what's in the car is below the 60kph and I know on both occasions I've put it way before the line and that's probably the most simple setting you can put in a Formula 1 car when you have 3 or 4 teams that get caught for speeding. Hopefully it rings a bell to the guys that they need to check exactly what's going on. It's just not right."

Sainz said: "Unfortunately at the restart, some people decided to risk everything to try and get a point or two and I was the victim of people being very over-optimistic and doing a mistake that honestly is borderline unacceptable.

Wolff said: "Clearly our mistake. We need to look at our communication, whether we actually expected him to come in, because I think what I remember is about staying out and not coming in. But nevertheless, you've got to be on it to hold him, and we didn't."

Russell on bad luck affecting his run of results
George Russell said he is in a “very weird state of mind” after another damaging weekend in Monaco left him reflecting on a run of results he feels have been shaped by bad luck. Russell said: "I still very much believe in myself and know what I can do, and we're not even 30 per cent of the way through, but there have been a lot of points down the drain. I am in a very, very weird state of mind because I've had very low moments in my career where maybe I've had a run of two or three bad races on my own personal performance, but I've never had a run of bad luck such as this. I still very much believe in myself and that we're going to be fighting for race wins until the end of the year, but right now, it is tough."

Lawson said: "Yeah, I was [worried about not even making the start]. I walked up to the garage and saw the car in a million pieces, and I thought I wasn't racing today.

Hadjar on driveability problems during Monaco podium finish
Isack Hadjar said he feared he would finish outside the points at the Monaco Grand Prix because of driveability problems during the race, after taking third place for his first podium since being promoted to Red Bull. Hadjar said: "I faced so many issues in the car that I really thought it was going to be a weekend outside the points. Very early, from I would say lap 12, something like that, I started having driveability issues and it was just undriveable. In Monaco, especially here, it's not like you can allow yourself to skip using first gear, second gear, and this is where the problem was. I was down on power at some point."

Antonelli on frustration at Monaco restart alongside Hamilton
Kimi Antonelli said he was “big time” frustrated by the late red flag and standing restart at the Monaco Grand Prix because Lewis Hamilton was alongside him and he feared the Ferrari could beat him to Ste Devote, despite Antonelli going on to win the race. Antonelli said: "Big time I was frustrated, because Lewis was starting next to me this time. Knowing how good they start, I was like, well, I cannot say, I'm going to say a bad word, but I was like, 'Oh man.' But luckily, the start went okay. Also, he had a lot of wheel spin, so that also made my life a little bit easier into Turn 1. But yeah, it was not easy to refocus after the red flag."
