Christian Horner speaking in the Azerbaijan GP post-race media briefing, said his team are mainly focused on building a points gap before teams begin to introduce their significant upgrade packages.

Horner said: "What we're more focused on at the moment is building a buffer with both of the drivers because when you know when we get back to Europe, I'm sure there's going to be sizable upgrades. And of course we have a reduced capacity to develop this year."

Horner: "So you know where that's where our focus is, is trying to build a, trying to build a gap."
"Since October last year, we have to be very selective of how we use our windtunnel time [as a result of the budget cap penalty]. We don’t have the ability to run loads of different items and concepts," Horner said.
Horner: "So, it has to be very targeted and very focused, and thankfully, the base of the car is a solid starting point. If we were in a Mercedes position, for us to develop our car out of the situation [it would be difficult]."
Horner adds: "You have to be selective in what you able research [in terms of development], and the aero team are all over that."

Vowles: "Of course, this also has an impact on tire degradation, which is higher. Because now you have significantly more understeer than planned with the original balance, and the front axle doesn't like that."

Financially, too, this damage, which is basically the responsibility of Albon, who, in my opinion, got into this situation a bit carelessly, hit it hard. "The damage is painful, and that's on budget too."

Nyck de Vries: The best thing you can do after a weekend like the one I had in Baku is to get straight back in the car and, fortunately, that’s exactly what I can do with this second part of the back-to-back. It’s fair to say I had a bit of bad luck, and also what happened....
de Vries: [....] in the race last Sunday was purely my fault. It was a difficult weekend, not just for me, but mainly for the mechanics, as I gave them a lot more work to do. I’m sorry for that and I really appreciate how hard they worked to get my car back on track.
de Vries: The good news is that the team clearly did a very good job of improving the car between Melbourne and Baku and Miami will be a chance to make the most of that, while also learning more about the car and developing it further.
