PRESS CONFERENCE 
 
Q: Lando, many congratulations. It has been a really spectacular weekend by you and McLaren. To start with, how do you sum up the final two days?
LN: I am making an attempt to consider a cool phrase. I do not know. Simply nice. Like, it has been superb. I do not know. An excellent weekend, all in all, from all of us as a staff. Mistake-free. Nice tempo within the automobile. Most likely this weekend, I believe, we are able to say confidently I believe we have been the quickest and I believe that is the primary time this yr I can confidently say that, so superb. Our first one-two since Monza with Daniel and yeah, an up and down journey. However, you recognize, since one yr in the past we have been struggling and the turnaround to Miami and from Miami to right here. It has been unbelievable. In order a weekend, implausible. And I am very completely happy for us as a staff and everybody that is a part of it to reward them with one thing like this.
 
Q: And the way troublesome was it so that you can surrender the race win?
LN: I imply, I did not surrender the race win. I misplaced the race win off the road. so I do know everybody goes to need to say that as a narrative that I gave up the race once I did not. I boxed first and naturally you’re at all times going to undercut. So the staff gave me this place and I gave it again. Nothing greater than that.
 
Q: There was loads of dialogue between you and your race engineer over the radio. How significantly did you take into account not giving it again?
LN: I imply, issues are at all times going to undergo your thoughts as a result of, you recognize… You have to be egocentric on this sport at occasions. You have to consider your self. That is precedence primary, is consider your self. I am additionally a staff participant, so my thoughts was going fairly loopy on the time. I do know what we have executed up to now between Oscar and myself. He is helped me loads of occasions… I believe this can be a completely different scenario. This isn’t somebody serving to each other. I used to be put right into a place, and we have been undoing that place change. However I imply, I am additionally, and I get it, and I do know lots of people are going to say, like, the hole between me and Max is fairly huge, 60, 70, 80 factors or one thing. You realize, if Pink Bull and Max make the errors like they did right this moment and proceed to try this, and as a staff we proceed to enhance and have weekends like we have had this weekend, we are able to flip it round. And it is nonetheless optimistic. It is nonetheless an enormous purpose to say, yeah, we are able to shut 70 factors and as a driver, I can shut 70 factors in half a season. After which once you’re pondering of the seven or six factors that I give away, then… It crosses your thoughts for certain. So it was not simple, however I additionally understood the scenario I used to be in and I used to be fairly assured at all times by the final lap I might have executed it.
 
Q: Do you suppose we’ll see you be extra egocentric sooner or later?
LN: It relies upon. I imply, I’ve executed this for… I do not know. I believe I used to be put on this scenario and it is not my fault that I used to be main the race in a manner. Merely the staff ought to have simply boxed Oscar first and we would not even be having this dialogue. So, it is not that. I believe simply as a staff, possibly we might have executed issues barely otherwise and I am certain we’ll discuss it. However on the similar time… This man right here deserved to win right this moment. He did a tremendous job. He received me off the road and yeah, that is a really particular feeling successful your first race and I say first race as a result of I believe you will agree that it is his first race win and never a Dash race. So yeah, I am going to let him get pleasure from it. And you recognize, for us as a staff and to have the win is an unbelievable weekend for all of us.
 
Q: Alright, Lando, many thanks for that. Let’s come on to the race winner now. Oscar, you’ve got dreamt of this second because you have been a boy. You are a Grand Prix winner in simply your thirty fifth begin. How candy was the view from the highest step of the rostrum?
OP: Yeah, very, very particular. Plenty of Australian flags, truly, which was very cool to see. Yeah, it was an unbelievable second. I imply, it is at all times particular once you get to face on an F1 podium, however it’s somewhat bit nicer once you’re on the prime of it, so very completely happy. Like I stated, an unbelievable second that I have been dreaming of for a really very long time. I stated my first dream in my profession was reaching F1. The second is successful a race. Yeah, I am very, very completely happy and proud and never simply of myself, however all people that is helped me get to this place. You realize, going again to my household, firstly, in fact. You realize, it took loads of huge selections at a younger age to chase the F1 dream. It’s totally troublesome to grow to be an F1 driver by staying in Australia, so it meant some huge selections early in life. And, yeah, simply very, very proud that, you recognize, these selections have paid off and we have managed to make it price it. And, yeah, in fact, myself simply extremely completely happy to have achieved this second.
 
Q: How completely different does this really feel to the Dash win in Qatar final yr?
OP: Very, I might say. I believe the Dash win… It was at all times a bit awkward, for my part. It is a win, however probably not a win. That is way more of a proud second for me than successful the Dash. After all, it was a particular second on the time, however now to haven’t any questions, no query marks over whether or not I am a race winner or not is a really good feeling to have. And yeah, the emotion is unquestionably completely different.
 
Q: Can we discuss ways? Given the benefit you and Lando had in that race? Why did not you cease first? It might have been loads easier.
OP: I imply, I am certain it is one thing we’ll focus on as a staff. You realize, the knowledge I had on the time was Lando was boxing early to cowl Lewis, and I used to be going lengthy to cowl Max, basically, as a result of I knew that he’d cease later, and I believe we have been simply being very protected. After all, that naturally gave Lando an undercut, possibly made issues somewhat bit extra difficult than it wanted to be. However yeah, I am certain that is one thing we’ll undergo.
 
Q: Alright. Many congratulations. Thanks. And Lewis, coming to you, 200 podiums, what a rating, what a trophy cupboard. Now, you’ve got usually stated that you just’re not into statistics, however this absolutely means one thing?
LH: The quantity does not, no. I simply take into consideration these two and the way younger these guys are. They have been in nappies once I began, so… No, truthfully, it simply makes me take into consideration the entire journey and all the good individuals I’ve had the possibility to work with. You realize, I received signed by McLaren once I was 13 and so there was at all times a lot love for that staff and thru the journey that we had, the place I had my first World Championship after which they went by a very troublesome time so to see them again up there may be actually, actually nice. I am actually completely happy. You realize that is my outdated household, so actually, actually grateful to be up right here with them. After which finally I believe it was a troublesome race right this moment and I  positively did not suppose I might be having 200 podiums however what have I executed? Like 340 one thing races? So, not too dangerous a rating however I could not have executed it with out all these nice folks that I’ve labored with in each these groups.
 
QUESTIONS FROM THE FLOOR 
 
Q: (Luke Smith – The Athletic) Lewis, might you speak by the contact with Max? He clearly made that transfer down the within. You guys touched. He was on the radio saying about you have been shifting beneath braking. May you speak by your aspect of it, please?
LH: Yeah. No, I believe, I imply, from what I can keep in mind, clearly we handed a backmarker. I received to the braking zone, after which Max appeared, to overhaul the automobile behind me, so I moved over to defend. I left sufficient room within the inside, however Max locked up, and he was going a special trajectory to me. I used to be going in direction of, across the nook, and he got here capturing throughout. It felt like a racing incident. And it is easy to make errors like that. And so I do not really feel there must be any hostility. However in fact, from his aspect, there at all times might be.
 
Q: (Jannik Sauer – Watson.de) Lewis, I used to be questioning, as a result of you might have this little fan laying subsequent to you, particularly after a scorching race like right this moment, there have been some headlines up to now few days in regards to the FIA planning to implement some kind of cooling for the cockpit and the drivers. So you’re stunned, I see. Do we’ve any opinion on that?
LH: Properly, firstly, I did not know that. And it is not wanted. That is System 1. It is at all times been like this. It is robust in these circumstances. And we’re highly-paid athletes. And you have to practice your ass off to ensure you can face up to the warmth, finally. And it is robust. It is not simple, particularly once you go to locations like Qatar and Singapore. However I do not suppose we’d like an AC unit within the automobile.
 
Q: (Florian Niedermair – Motorsport-magazin.com) About your race area normally, did you anticipate earlier than the race to be battling with Max or was it a shock for you, particularly given the circumstances?
LH: No, I believe out of pure tempo, we weren’t. Sadly, we’re nonetheless not, in scorching circumstances notably… So that you noticed in Austria and right here, we’re not capable of sustain with these guys. However in stint one, I used to be actually stunned to see that I used to be capable of maintain on to Max. And I wasn’t even having to push too arduous to remain inside a second, or round a second behind him. So I believed at that time that possibly I used to be in for an opportunity of no less than preventing for that place. However then within the second stint, it was a little bit of a catastrophe, it did not really feel good. And the true tempo of the automobile began to indicate, I believe, on these tyres. However we clearly received the undercut and observe place is clearly key on this observe. And I believe that basically finally made the distinction.
 
Q: (Edd Straw – The Race) One for Lando, please. As you stated, you have been at all times assured you have been going to provide the place again, however primarily based on the messages we heard, the pit wall appeared fairly fearful about it. You had a variety of reminders, because it have been, so why not give them a affirmation simply to place their minds at relaxation that you just have been going to do it throughout that part? 
LN: I needn’t. I do know what I will do and what I am not going to do. After all, I will simply query it and problem it, and that is what I did. Yeah. I used to be going to attend till the final lap, the final nook. However then they stated if there was a Security Automobile hastily, and I could not let Oscar undergo, then it could have made me appear like a little bit of an fool. Yeah, then I used to be like, ‘yeah, it’s honest level’. And I let him go, two to go or one thing. And right away, I let him go. So yeah, I imply, that is simply your opinion of what you hear. However that is the identical with all sports activities. You can also make what you’ll of what you hear and what you suppose you recognize and that type of stuff. However I do know that I at all times was going to provide it again except they modified their thoughts on what they have been saying. And so they did not. So all good.
 
Q: (Phil Duncan – PA) Lando, you stated over the radio that you just’re preventing for the world championship. Do you suppose that McLaren made the unsuitable resolution right this moment? 
LN: No. I imply… I did not lose the win there. I misplaced the win off the road. You realize, I had a horrible, not even a horrible begin, only a dangerous begin. One thing occurred on my second shift and I misplaced all my momentum. Oscar received to the within and that was it. That was that. So, you recognize, I received put into the lead fairly than desirous to. I really feel like we made issues manner too arduous for ourselves and manner too tough for ourselves. We must always have simply boxed Oscar first and issues would have been easy, however they gave me the lead and I gave it again. So I should not have received right this moment. I did not should win due to my begin and Oscar’s good begin and that is that. So I do not really feel like… I do know I used to be in that place for some time and 16, 17 laps or no matter, It is arduous once you’re in that place to provide it again since you’re there. And also you’re there and naturally that went by my thoughts, seven factors that I will lose. However I believe the actual truth is I should not have virtually had them within the first place. I should not have had them in my arms. So the staff have been proper. And I stand by what they stated.
 
Q: (Luke Smith – The Athletic) Oscar, for you in these phases once you have been behind Lando, what was going by your thoughts? Have been you fearful that you just weren’t going to be given the lead again? How a lot was the priority rising in these last few laps?
 
OP: I do not suppose I used to be actually involved. The one factor I used to be involved a few bit was if there was a Security Automobile, then it could have taken the scenario out of our arms, would have taken the management out of our arms. In order that was actually the one factor I used to be a bit involved about. However, you recognize, we might spoken about it on the timing of the cease that we’d type it again out. And, yeah, I imply, I had full belief in everybody within the staff, together with Lando, that we’d make that occur.
 
Q: (Peter Farkas – Auto Motor) Lando, at first of the yr, everybody thought Max would run away with the championship. And now right here we’re. McLaren appears to be the quickest automobile. Do you genuinely suppose that the championship is now on? And do you are feeling that you’re prepared psychologically to take it to the wire with Max? As a result of we predict it might get fairly edgy on the finish. 
LN: Yeah, then I sit up for it. I imply, I stated on the finish of final yr that we have been going to win races this yr. I stated at first of the yr that it was not going to be a simple one for Pink Bull, and all of that is come true. So I believe we have executed a tremendous job as a staff. So I believe, to begin with, we’ve to provide credit score to the staff for giving us a automobile as a way to do this. We have received right this moment, however that is the second win of the yr. Pink Bull have had far more wins. Mercedes have virtually had as many wins as we have had. Truly, they’ve had the identical quantity of wins as we have had. So simply because we received one race right this moment and we have had a dominant weekend does not imply we are the quickest automobile. I believe possibly two weekends this yr, we have had the very best automobile of the grid. That is it. Folks can give you their very own opinions and say what they like. However, do we’ve alternatives to possibly win extra? Sure. Did we essentially have the quickest automobile on these days? I do not suppose so. However yeah, once I consider that, once I consider what we’re doing now, what we’re capable of do sooner or later, you recognize, within the quick time period and in addition long run after summer season break, and we’ve extra days like right this moment, then in fact. You’ll be foolish to say no. However do not get me unsuitable, I do know it is like 70, 80 factors that I received to catch up. So I do know lots of people are going to say that there is not any likelihood, however I imply, we’ll hold preventing and I will give myself the very best alternative to take action. You realize, particularly once you see Max right this moment and Pink Bull, not performing so properly, making errors, crashing. You realize, you need to take advantage of these alternatives and many extra can occur sooner or later. So, sure, I believe it is nonetheless on. I do know it is a huge stretch and optimistic, like I stated earlier than, however I am not going to say no to the problem and positively as a staff, we cannot. And psychologically, yeah, I am completely happy. I am prepared. I nonetheless suppose, you recognize, when you throw again to Pink Bull Ring, I did nothing unsuitable on this occasion. It wasn’t my fault. So I am able to go. I am excited. I am able to battle. And I am wanting ahead to the battles that we’ll have.
 
Q: (Nate Saunders – ESPN) Lando, a query for you. Simply on staff orders typically on this scenario, Will Joseph talked about in a few of these laps to you, he stated, consider these conferences that we’ve on Sundays, which I assume is simply type of a reference again to discussions about comparable conditions. If you’re going to make a championship struggle out of this, at what level do you suppose McLaren truly have to make calls like that? Since you are proper that there is a huge hole to you and Max proper now, however clearly that hole may come down faster if McLaren is possibly making these calls faster. So what do you suppose must, you recognize, when does that have to occur if you’re going to flip this right into a championship struggle? 
LN: I believe there’s only a distinction of merely simply deserving to win a race and never deserving to win. I did not should win the race right this moment. Easy as that. So the actual fact I used to be in that place was incorrect. I believe that was a mistake from us as a staff. I should not have been on this place. And it was a strategic solution to simply play our race. So it gave me hope and it gave me that place of, ‘oh, I am right here now’. However I should not have been there within the first place. I am not going to speak about it as a result of I should not have been there. I did not should win. Finish of story from that aspect. However sure, it is one thing we at all times discuss earlier than each race is our belief in each other, our honesty we’ve as a bunch. I believe that is one thing that is allowed us to catch others so rapidly to carry out and outperform others so rapidly to develop the automobile faster. As a staff, I believe we’ve and have proven loads of occasions between drivers, whether or not it has been Carlos and myself, Daniel and myself, Oscar and myself, that when issues do go each other’s manner, we’re there to assist each other, you recognize? And right this moment is a special day. It is not as a result of strategically one thing’s actually occurred and also you’re type of simply letting somebody cross or one thing’s going that manner it’s that I should not have been in that place within the first place. I should not have been provided that hope of I am right here, I am main a race. So I do not suppose it is a honest factor. However in fact we’ll focus on it and there is going to be occasions possibly sooner or later the place issues are like that. But when Oscar’s led the entire race, I do not need him simply to… It is not honest, and I do not suppose that is the way it ought to work, that he ought to simply let me cross for me to win as a result of I am preventing for a championship. Possibly I am going to ask Oscar, possibly he’ll! Possibly he’d let me cross! However right this moment was his, and that must be it. It wasn’t my race right this moment. He drove higher, and he received a great begin, and that was that, so… Yeah, like I stated, one thing we’ll talk about as a staff and we talk about on a regular basis. One thing we’re good at and one thing we’ll proceed to do good at.
 
Q: (Alex Kalinauckas – Autosport) Query to Oscar, please. Simply on the ultimate stint once you got here out behind Lando, I ponder when you might simply speak us by what occurred there, why you have been somewhat bit unable to shut up the hole regardless of having somewhat bit youthful tyres. 
OP: Yeah, I imply, I believe the entire race, we have been very evenly matched. I believe the soiled air made an enormous distinction. I believe the place I used to be within the final stint, I do not suppose it made that a lot of a distinction. I believe finally, I simply wasn’t fairly as fast as I wanted to be within the final stint. So I believe that is one thing that I that I need to enhance and, you recognize, I am very, very pleased with the outcome, in fact, however when it comes to leaving the weekend, you recognize, with the query of am I totally happy with my efficiency right this moment? No, I am not. And there is nonetheless issues I need to enhance. Yeah, I imply, I believe observe place made a really huge distinction right this moment. And I believe that is why having the beginning I did was so crucial. Yeah, I believe simply finally, I did not fairly have the tempo that I wished in the very last thing. And I nonetheless have to go and assess why that was the case.
 
Q: (Florian Niedermair – Motorsportmagazin.com) Query to Lando. Have been you allowed to race one another? In the event you had the tempo to assault Oscar, would you might have been allowed to take action from staff aspect or was it an settlement to carry place?
LN: Yeah, we have been allowed to race. Possibly one thing would have modified in sure positions, however we have at all times been allowed to race. 99% of our time collectively we have been allowed to race. There’s been a pair occasions when it is simply been higher to carry place and it is not been price something otherwise, particularly once we’re preventing for, you recognize, final yr we have been preventing for ninth and tenth and stuff like that, you recognize, for any driver, it does not actually matter a lot. On a day like right this moment, clearly, it feels higher or worse both manner, however we have at all times been allowed to race as McLaren. We have at all times been capable of have these alternatives, and I believe primarily as a result of we have at all times been sincere with one another, we have at all times revered one another properly. I believe as a teammate, I need to… For myself, I really feel like I’ve at all times been good and sincere and completely happy and respectful for who I work with and the way we are able to work properly as a staff. I consider it is a good trait from my aspect and it is helped me loads of occasions up to now. So, yeah, we’re allowed to race and into the longer term that may proceed to be the identical, I am certain.
 
Q: (Matt Coch – Speedcafe) Three-part query from him. Is the win all the things you’d hoped it could be? What has Mark Webber’s position been in your profession? And there wasn’t a shoey on the rostrum. Will there be one tonight?
OP: Sure, I might say it’s. I do not suppose it is totally sunk in but. And I imply, I am probably not the type of individual to get overly emotional. So, you recognize, I do not suppose you are ever actually going to see that from me. However, no, it is an unbelievable feeling. Like I stated, it is one thing I’ve dreamed of since I used to be a child. You realize, we have had a few alternatives by the previous few races that we have come very near. And yeah, now to make it occur is an unbelievable feeling. However I am certain with extra time, you recognize, I believe in Qatar final yr, you recognize, that did not totally sink in till in all probability the season ended. And, you recognize, I believe with this, it is going to in all probability be an identical type of feeling. Yeah, it is simply fairly a cool feeling, however fairly arduous to, I assume, describe and know find out how to really feel typically. The second was…? 
 
Q: Mark Webber. And are you unhappy that Mark’s not right here? He is flown again to London to be supporting Mitch Evans, hasn’t he? Yeah.
OP: Has the System E race occurred but? No? It is not occurred? Yeah, I imply his affect has been large on so many ranges. I believe firstly it is necessary to say from Mark and Ann it has been necessary on so many ranges. I believe behind the scenes they’ve executed an unbelievable quantity of labor for me in my profession, whether or not it was my junior profession, getting me into System 1, working with McLaren, it has been a large affect for me. I believe there’s at all times little ideas and issues like that. I imply, Mark had a profitable profession, Nearly all of it’s in regards to the larger image of issues. And Mark clearly had an extended and profitable profession in System 1. And I’ve stated a number of occasions, his hindsight of his profession is my foresight. And he can hold me out of some traps, a number of holes that possibly he skilled in his profession.
