Max Verstappen: "To finally win in Singapore was a special moment and to get two race wins (and a Sprint race) in a row with our own power unit is something to be celebrated and for the Team to be proud of.

"This track is very different to drive but is always quite enjoyable despite it being quite bumpy. It has its long corners and elevation changes, so we need to make sure we hit the ground running with the set-up of the car. Austin is always a fun weekend and there is a lot to do in the city. We are going again into another triple header and our focus is on continuing this momentum, maximising our opportunities and getting as many points for the Constructors' championship as we can."

Isack Hadjar: "After Singapore it was good to go back to Paris and spend time with family and friends following a challenging weekend. I feel like I've reset and I'm ready to get straight back at it in Austin. The last triple-header was such a positive week for the Team and the car really took a step forward in performance, and we want to bring that with us to the States. It's another triple-header coming up, so it's heads down and hard work to come out the other side on a positive note. I'm excited to get back to fighting at the front and COTA is such a great track to race on, so it's going to be an enjoyable one."
