Pierre Gasly
"The last race at Silverstone was frustrating as we lost a couple of points because of the puncture at the end, I think even eighth place could have been possible. Someone had thrown some gravel onto the track and it cut my tyre. So honestly, I was a bit fed up with how things went generally in the past few races. In Austria there was the collision with Charles, which cost me some points, and then that puncture. Overall, I'd say Silverstone was my worst weekend of the season, especially as it looked as though we could have salvaged between two and four points, so it was annoying that we couldn't take them. But that's how it goes sometimes and now we definitely have things to review. We had to deal with more complications than we expected and the new format didn't really allow us much time to sort things out after free practice, before going straight to Qualifying and parc ferme.

We got off to a very strong start to the season, so now it will be important to have a good end to the first part of the year in Budapest. I have done well in the past at the #hungaroring, winning in Formula 2 and scoring points a couple of times in Formula 1. It's a circuit I like a lot, as there are no real straights and plenty of corners, so in the cockpit you are always doing something – braking, turning, or managing the throttle. There's very little time spent in a straight line and I enjoy that. It means it's important to get into a good rhythm and so I find it really enjoyable to drive. Of course, it's always a really physical challenge with no chance to rest on the lap, plus it looks like it's going to be another very hot weekend given the heat in Europe at the moment, but I feel ready for it.

In terms of our chances there, we have seen in the past couple of weekends that McLaren and Ferrari have made a big step forward. We know we are fighting for fifth in the championship with Alpine and Aston Martin and that's the target we must aim for. I think that in Budapest we will have a chance of being in the mix with these two teams, but we will need to have a very good weekend, benefitting from the full potential that is there in our package.
