Looking back at the #PortugueseGP, I have to say that finishing P2 after such a tricky few days was absolutely the maximum for us.

As did George Russell in his Williams.
Our best Saturday and one of our toughest Sundays. When the car is in the window, it's quick. When it's not, it's a bit of a handful. But we know where that sensitivity lies and, as we proved in Quali, the potential is there. We won't stop pushing. 👊 pic.twitter.com/qyHrs51y11
