“[We’ll] try to understand what we can do better for Mexico. Optimising the package will be needed at this point because we didn’t perform well enough. Work to do in the next three days,” he concluded.
As for Lance Stroll, any hopes he had of progressing were undone at the Safety Car restart. The Canadian had started on the hard compound tyres, the highest runner to do so and that strategy worked well for several others. In fact all the other hard-shod starters made it back into the points, bar Stroll and Lewis Hamilton, who failed to finish.
But being unable to keep temperature in his tyres behind the Safety Car proved costly for Stroll, who ran off the track and dropped to last when racing did resume. He eventually came home in 15th place.
“Just lacking pace compared to the others,” was his assessment. “I had a messy restart, fell to the back with a big snap in Turn 10 and then I went on the grass and lost a bunch of positions. But even after that, [I was] struggling for pace and couldn’t come back through the field. We have a lot of work ahead of us for sure.”
