“It was just a long afternoon,” Piastri said. “I just didn't 🌸have the pace to really do anything.
“Pretty poor first lap for myself a🎶s we👍ll, which didn't help things, but I don't think we really had the pace to stay in the points anyways.
“We'll h🍰ave a look at why we struggled so much today compared to yesterday. I think we've got some good ideas already. But yeah, disappointing afternoon.𓆏”
