Her British pilot Mercedes in his statements after the checkered flag fell, he expressed his satisfaction with the result, while emphasizing that he still feels uncomfortable in his car.

“Russell was very unlucky today. We got points today and that’s fantastic. I didn’t expect to be 2nd, I’m grateful for that”.

On whether the problems with his car have been solved: “I still feel uncomfortable in the car. I don’t feel connected to him. I ride the best I can, even if I don’t feel comfortable. I am working very hard to get used to it, but I think it will take time. Given that we’re behind Red Bull in terms of performance as well, way behind in straight line speed, to be here fighting with Aston Martin is awesome where we’re at. We have to keep fighting, thanks to all the people back at the factory. Let’s keep pushing. We need to close the gap. It will be difficult but not impossible”.

On his struggles at the Australian Grand Prix: “I had to push a lot. Definitely at the beginning to keep Max behind me and then Fernando was pushing me. He is very fast and they were probably a bit faster than us today. But I managed to hold him back. Today is a great day. We have three world champions on the podium”.
