🇦🇪🗣️ | Christian Horner backs Max for his 'stupid idiots' radio

"I'm sure in any sport that there will always be frustration from players or sports people in the heat of the moment.
December 8, 2024 at 5:22 PM
🇦🇪🗣️ | Max: "I'm happy it's over. The race was very boring.

I just had no balance. I couldn't attack and brake. We were not in the right working window with the tyres."

🇦🇪🗣️ | Max on Checo: "People have been very harsh on him."

"I have always worked well with Checo. He is really a great guy. It's rare to have a teammate like him, who has always been very good and just a nice guy for us. I work with him every weekend, week in, week out.

🇦🇪🗣️ | Helmut Marko thinks 10-second penalty on Lap 1 incident is too harsh

“Max had a very good start, while Carlos Sainz had a poorer one. And then in the first corner, I think Piastri could have left a bit more space.
December 8, 2024 at 4:02 PM
🇦🇪🗣️ | Checo: I am very calm because I have given everything from start to finish. In the end things have not worked out well this season but it wasn't because of the lack of desire and professionalism.
December 8, 2024 at 3:43 PM
🇦🇪🗣️ | Checo told ESPN: I wouldn't say it's the end. This has become much bigger than a driver, it has a whole country, a whole continent behind me.

We still have important things to do, I'm sure this isn't the end.

🇦🇪🗣️ | Max doesn't want to talk about the penalty: "I'm just happy that the season is over."

"The most important thing was that I apologised to Oscar. I have nothing to win or lose, so I went for it. It just didn't succeed and it's definitely not nice for him that we spun.

🇦🇪🗣️ | Max on collision with Piastri at Lap 1 Turn 1:

"The start was good and then I tried to take the inside. I soon realised the gap was narrowing and tried to get underneath, because I didn't want to crash in front of Piastri.

Horner: Thanks very much, Max, and it wasn't our day today, you've had an epic season. So, yeah, thanks for your effort. And yeah, some well-earned rest and hop back at it next year.

Max: Yeah, exactly that.

GP: That's a wrap, mate.

Max: Not the best fastest race, but I just wanted to say a big thank you for this season, guys. It's not been easy at times. We still have quite a few things to improve on, but we still won a championship.

🇦🇪🗣️ | Checo said in the media pen: "I think the engine was already damaged before the touch [with Bottas], every time I changed the clutch it slipped, I lost a lot of time on the straight.

After the contact I tried to recover the car but the clutch was completely stuck."
