“I think I had a very good first lap of the race.
I was pleased with the way I positioned my car on the track, because in the morning I was preparing for the possibility of incidents and watched how I can go around these places, ”the Haas press service quotes Mazepin as saying.
He noted that he was doing his best, but Haas was not fast enough to fight other teams today.
“I am pleased with myself: the balance was not entirely necessary, but I did not make any serious mistakes.
I think today it was the maximum, ”added the Russian.
Mazepin started 20th and finished the race in 18th, while his Haas team-mate Mick Schumacher finished 16th.
Earlier it was reported that Max Verstappen won the Styrian Grand Prix.
