Yuki Tsunoda (AT03-03, Car 22)
Race – pos. 13th
“It's been a difficult afternoon. I obviously wanted to finish in the points, so it's a real shame that I wasn't able to make it today. I think that I did the best I could today and extracted the most from the car, but the pace just wasn't there. The whole weekend here has been so exciting still, I've really enjoyed my first experience of driving an #f1 car round my home track and I want to say a huge thank you to all the fans that have come out to support both myself and the team, especially in these rainy conditions today. Also, big congrats to Max for winning the World Championship – it's great that the Japanese fans have been able to witness that here today!”
Pierre Gasly (AT03-04, Car 10)
Race – pos. 17th*
“We wanted to try something different today, however it's very difficult to overtake on this track and we tried our best, but at the end it didn't really work out for us. It's a shame as it's a special race weekend for us and Honda, but at the same time it's great that Max has been able to win the Championship. He has been incredible, winning consistently, and has always been performing at his best and has got everything to be World Champion, so a massive congrats to him, to Red Bull and to Honda. It's extra special to win the title here in Suzuka, so I'm really happy for them.”
