Thanks for reading today and emailing in, see you next time for race No 2 out of 24 for this marathon season. Bye.

Fred Vasseur, Ferrari team principal: “We were expecting better, starting from the first row … our race pace was OK with Carlos, but with Charles it was much more difficult. We had a problem with the brakes, with Charles, in the first 20 laps.

“I’m quite happy with the job done by Charles … and Carlos did a fantastic job.

“We will see next week. What we have to keep in mind is that last year we were not at 24 seconds [behind], we were at 48. So we halved the gap … and towards the end of the season we were able to fight with them [Red Bull] in some races … we need to continue to improve, and focus on details … let’s see next week, it will be a completely different story in Jeddah.”
