Quotes
"I am happy with that. I enjoyed the race and it’s a mega track, so it’s nice to come away with another podium," Piastri said after finishing third at the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix.
"There were some good battles on track, but it was challenging as the cars at the front seemed to have very similar pace to each other. It was tough to get into DRS, and then far enough into DRS to overtake but it was still fun, nonetheless.
"We were just unlucky with the timing of the Safety Car, but that’s racing. It’s going to take everything we’ve got to seal the deal next week. It’s going to be an exciting one.”
