Quotes
“P1! I’m so happy to have won my second Grand Prix. This is the best win of my career. I’m proud of what we did today," Piastri said after winning the 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
"I tried at the start of the race to get in front, but once I dropped out of DRS, I just didn't have the pace. After the stop, I saw we were pretty close again, and I felt like we had a little bit of extra grip.
"I had to go for it because I knew that if I didn't get past at the start of the stint, I was never going to get past. So, I went for a pretty big lunge, but managed to pull it up, and then hung on for dear life for the next 35 laps. It was hard work, but I think that definitely goes down as one of my better races."
