“At the end of the day, it was a tricky race, obviously being stuck underneath Fernando and Danny for a long time – [Alonso] was making a gap for Lance [Stroll], I believe. It just started to eat away at the tyres, and I really had nothing left on that hard tyre.
“The rears just completely degraded and from there I was just hanging on. Once I put the new tyre on it felt great, but, yeah, oh well.”
There were positives for Sargeant, though, with the American adding: “I would say in terms of single-lap [pace it was strong]. Today I have no idea about what actually went on behind the scenes, all I know is the struggle from inside the car.”
