“I think more than the point, I’m happy for the pace we had and how strong we were in the race,” Colapinto said afterwards. “After a very tough Saturday for us, we bounced back and showed the pace we had and we were one of the strongest in the midfield.
“That’s really positive for us and what we were looking for. And I think after such a tough Saturday for the team, to have this point, to have the pace, to have the fastest lap until the end of the race, it’s something else, you know.”
Colapinto’s race could have been even better, as he did have the fastest lap until right at the very end, when rivals Alpine pitted Esteban Ocon for soft tyres to deny Williams that bonus point. But scoring still enabled Williams to increase their gap over Alpine in the championship, which stands now at four points with five races remaining.

“After a tough quali for me, I’m happy with how we controlled the tyres and in clean air we showed we are stronger than the others and at the end on the mediums we were super quick until the end of the race. Happy but a lot still to learn and a lot to improve on myself as well but it is a solid start,” continued Colapinto.
