7th, 6 more points, vamossss!!
Double points for the team!! Great teamwork, and a good recovery after not feeling too well in the car all weekend. What a few days it has been… 😅
🚨 Gasly: «Tengo que decir que hemos hecho un buen trabajo en equipo con Franco, presionando a Hulkenberg y a Liam, y después hemos intentado aprovechar un poco el aire libre.
El VSC en el momento justo... Tengo que decir que todo está saliendo bien ahora mismo. Es una alegría, hay que aprovecharlo; para el equipo son unos puntos muy importantes».
🔵 Pierre Gasly félicite Lewis Hamilton pour sa victoire avec Ferrari !
"Je l’ai toujours dit, j’admire énormément la carrière de Lewis. Il a apporté énormément au sport ; c’est bon pour la F1, pour Ferrari et pour le championnat. On pensait que Mercedes allait tout dominer, mais peut-être qu’il y a maintenant une lutte pour le titre."

🚨| Antonelli Cautions Russell on Race Strategy: “ I'm on the clean side and getting to Turn-1 will be long: so I think we have a good chance for tomorrow.”
— Kimi Antonelli, starting from P3 in Barcelona, remains optimistic about his chances despite not being on the front row for the first time this season. Speaking to media, Antonelli remarked:
“This weekend was a bit more complex, especially on the single lap.”
— He acknowledged the challenges faced during qualifying but highlighted the positives from practice sessions. Antonelli explained:
“I think the long run in FP2 was very positive, on the dry lap I was overdriving, I was pushing a little too hard for the conditions.”
— The high temperatures posed additional difficulties, affecting tire performance. Antonelli noted:
“This weekend it's really hot, the tires struggle to last for one lap, so I've never been able to get the most out of the tire for the entire time attack.”
— Despite his dissatisfaction with P3, Antonelli sees potential in his starting position. He commented:
“Even if I'm not happy with P3, it's not a bad position, because I'm on the clean side and getting to Turn-1 will be long: so I think we have a good chance for tomorrow. Then the pace is good.”
— Tire management will be crucial for the race, and Antonelli is prepared to adapt his strategy accordingly. He stated:
“It will be really important to manage the tire at its best and try to maximize the race pace. I believe that tomorrow we will see many more stops, I will do my best in every stint so that I have the best chance to win or go on the podium.”

#SpanishGP 🇪🇸 | Kimi Antonelli on Lewis Hamilton’s win:
“I’m very happy for Lewis. He’s been chasing that first win with Ferrari for so long and I’m really happy to see him succeed in that.”
🚨 Kimi 🗣️"I feel a bit empty right now. But it is what it is, races are like this. It comes and goes, and yeah, the pace was good today. I struggled a little bit in stint 1, but in stints 2 and 3, I felt I had quite a lot of pace"
"Of course, it's a shame because it was three laps to the end, almost there, but as I said, races are like this, it's no one's fault. Now I'm looking forward to the next one."
“It can be a disappointing end to the day, but can you take some consolation in thinking you were the quicker Mercedes car today?”
Kimi: “I think we were quickest on track today. Okay Lewis at the end, he was very quick, but second stint we were super quick. […] And by the way, I'm very happy for him, for his win. It's good to see that he got his first win with Ferrari. But on my side, yeah, very disappointing. I feel a bit empty, to be fair, right now. But at the same time, these things happen. Happens to everyone and the most important is to come back stronger.”
