Great race pace out there in free air. Massively impressed. Case of what could have been if that qualifying wasn’t so compromised. Come on boys!!

We were never going to beat Verstappen, so P2-3 was best we could get, which we are on course for.

At the moment Verstappen has still the better car. Hopefully we can turn the tables next year.

I've just noticed that the Qatar pit and VIP area above look like a car park.

1.8s stop may be the fastest in history.

Team telling Lando we will keep position to the end of the race. Hopefully we get no drama and we take the double podium as a massive success it is.

Once again Lando is faster in race trim, but it's a sensible call.
