Oliver Rowland

“I’m so pleased to secure my first win of the season and it’s very special to take victory in Monaco again! It was a crazy race with a lot of drivers starting out at such a high pace. I knew we had to remain disciplined and stick to our plan as well as staying out of trouble. I was always confident throughout the race as the team kept me well informed and we took the second Attack Mode at the perfect time.

"It’s been an up and down first half of the season, but I know if we can improve in qualifying then we’ll be fighting towards the front for the remainder of the year.”

Felipe Drugovich

“That was the goal! It’s been a really good day overall with the potential that was there. The car was really good and I think we did everything we could to be up there today. Obviously, I wanted to win today, but sometimes you have to go for the safe option – particularly given how tricky the start of the season has been. All in all though, it’s been a great day and hopefully now we can continue with this momentum for the rest of the season.”

António Félix da Costa

"What a rollercoaster of a race! It’s been a weekend full of ups and downs but to finish it with a podium in Monaco is a great feeling. Being spun around on the opening lap was tough to take, but I kept my head down and focused on the end result. The strategy was great and I was able to make some important overtakes to climb back up the field to take the lead. I couldn’t quite hang on for the win, but a podium is a great result. It could have been more, but to finish third and fourth overall is a fantastic result for Jaguar TCS Racing."

HANKOOK DEBRIEF: Five things we learned in Monaco

Mitch Evans

"Overall it’s been a strong weekend. Today I scored good points again but felt I could have had more. We made the call to go early with a six‑minute attack, which meant I then had to manage energy in the mid‑phase of the race and lost track position. I’ll look at that with the team, but I’m happy to be leaving Monaco with the World Championship lead."

Lucas di Grassi

“We scored points in both races in Monaco which is a fantastic result and one we have not achieved before. We managed to execute the race very well and the team thoroughly deserved these points. Even though of course we want to be fighting for wins and podiums, this is a great step and consistent points is an amazing result.

"Now we have to analyse what went right and what went wrong in the weekend so we can be prepared for Sanya next month and try to score more points there.”

Dan Ticktum

“I have mixed emotions from this weekend. It was an incredible achievement from the team and myself consecutive pole positions, but the races were not ideal. It was a mixture of the car being difficult to drive when the tyres are hot and strategy decisions overall so yeah, just a mixed weekend. We need to go back to the drawing board and figure out why we struggle when the tyres are hot, but I’m very proud of everyone for the double pole and I’m looking forward to Sanya.”
