Piastri: It's hard to accept such a result.

      Oscar Piastri dominated over the weekend in Qatar, but in the race, after a strategic miscalculation by the team, he finished only second…

      Oscar Piastri (2nd): "Obviously we didn't succeed today. I drove the race as well as I could and as fast as I could. I gave it my all, but unfortunately we couldn't win today.

      I think, looking back, it's clear what we should have done, but I'm sure the team and I will discuss it. But it's not all bad. I had a good weekend, the car was quick, it's just hard for me to accept a result like this."

      Lando Norris (4th): "When the safety car comes out, we just trust that the team will make the right decision. It's always a certain risk. Today we got it wrong. Oscar lost the win, and I lost second place. Yes, we didn't manage today, but we've done great in other races. And thanks to that we clinched the Constructors' Championship six or seven races ago. Yes. Today isn't the best day, but that's life.

      Today, as yesterday, Red Bull were not slower than us in terms of pace. They just played it better and made the right decision. We need to analyze everything, understand the reason for this mistake, and draw conclusions. You can't do everything perfectly."
