“It was just a long afternoon,” Piastri sಞaid. “I just didn't have the pace to really do anything.
“Pretty poor first lap for myself as well, which didn't help thi𒁏ngs, but I don't think we really had the pace to stay in the points anyways.
“We'll have a look at why we struggled so much today compared to yesterday. I think we've💫 got some good ideas already. But yeah, disappointing afte🌼rnoon.”

༒The Australian added: “I think [qualifying] was a very good performance from the team,” he said. “I think [the race] was probably more back to reality, I would say.
“We just need to understand why we struggle on Sunday🐓s and when the track’s a bit hotter and stuff like that. We’ll go and have a look.”
