Lando Norris: "That was a pretty good race! Perhaps not perfect, we stopped just before the rain which lost us about 20s of race time having to pit again for the Inters because the rain was stronger than expected, but unfortunately the stint wasn't long enough to make the most of the good pace we then had.
It was very tough out there today, tricky in these conditions. Our pace was good, one of the best on track. We'll see what we can learn, try to keep improving and do a better job if we can in Barcelona next weekend."
Oscar Piastri: "I'm pretty happy with P10 and a point today. There's not a great deal you can do in Monaco on Sunday but I think we made a good strategy call to start on the Hard tyre. When the rain began to fall, the communications were very good as we decided if and when to go onto the Intermediate tyre. Of course, we'll have a look to see if there was anything we could have done better today, but it feels like we did a good job, and I'm very happy that both of us finished the race in the points."
Andrea Stella, Team Principal: "Two cars in the points at the end of a dramatic Monaco Grand Prix is a very positive outcome. We executed the race well; our drivers ran smart races, staying out of trouble in difficult conditions, and our pace looked very strong in the final third of the race on the Intermediate tyres. It was a shame that portion of the race wasn't a little longer to allow us to capitalise on the pace both Lando and Oscar demonstrated.
"I would like to praise, in particular, the work of our garage crew this weekend. Yesterday, the mechanics did phenomenal work to get Lando out in Q3, and today they executed clean pit-stops, including a difficult double shuffle in awkward conditions. There's a depth of talent there, of which we are immensely proud and will keep building for the future."
