SportPesa Racing Point had a disappointing British Grand Prix but are set to learn from their mistakes as they try and bounce back in time for the German Grand Prix. Lance Stroll says that he wants to "forget" the weekend and that they can improve their package for the upcoming races.
“I think it’s a weekend to forget, to be honest,” said Stroll to TheCheckeredFlag. “Things just haven’t worked out for us. I had a good start and I was up three places by the end of the first lap.
“Unfortunately we had to pit earlier than planned to remove some debris from my left front brake duct and that really hurt our strategy.
“We had been aiming for a one-stop race, but ended up stopping twice because the team changed me to the soft tyre for the final stint.
“I think the team was hoping the cars ahead would run out of tyre life, but unfortunately it didn’t happen quickly enough.”
It was the teams home Grand Prix but considering that they have only just taken over from Force India, it is no surprise that it will take a bit of time before results start to come in.
