"The Doctor expressed their joy."

"I'm really pleased, especially following our Did Not Finish in Austin a fortnight ago.

"The competition was tough, but Ahmad, Maxime, and myself performed exceptionally well during our respective turns, and our team executed an impeccable strategy along with flawless pit stops once more."

"We've reached the podium for the second time this season, and we're thrilled!"

Vincent Vosse, the principal of Team WRT, remarked, "Although our car wasn't the quickest, we managed to pull off some strategic wizardry."

"The team and the drivers delivered an outstanding performance, and to find ourselves on the podium was something we hadn't even dared to hope for at the start of the weekend."
