The 2024 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix delivered a dramatic finish, but we could not benefit and ended P15 and P19.
Alex Albon
I believe P12 or P13 was possible today. I know it’s not points, but I don’t like finishing behind where I think we could’ve finished. With the pit stops, I lost a lot of time, either fighting with cars, boxing straight afterwards or coming out into dirty air. I don’t think it was easy out there with it being a short track and pit stops being a bit trickier, and I know it was my fault for crossing the line, but it’s just frustrating. We do have some learnings from this weekend that we can take to Silverstone, however there are still some questions as I didn’t expect us to be lacking in performance this much. Hopefully, we won’t suffer the same problems next week and can return stronger.

Sven Smeets, Sporting Director:
It was a tough day for both drivers, firstly with Logan making contact on the first lap, requiring him to pit for a new front wing, and Alex struggling to get good track position and clean air, impacting his ability to fight through the field. We also knew today, with the high temperatures, was going to be a tyre management challenge. It’s been a tough two weekends for the team, last time out in Barcelona and Austria. However, we will look to take what we learned from this weekend and come back stronger next weekend for our home Grand Prix at Silverstone.
