“I’m happy because in the end we have a Top-5 in difficult conditions. We had to improvise a bit on the grid, we didn’t know how wet the track was and we started in the intermediates, and then, that decision to ride dry or not at the end… we got stuck in the intermediates and you don’t know until the end of the race. Fourth and fifth, three points more than Ferrari, 8 more than Mercedes, good Saturday for Aston Martin”, he answered on ‘DAZN F1’. He had already taken out the calculator and was not thinking about his personal position. He was pleased to see how the team managed to add more than their opponents. He made it clear what his and everyone else’s priorities are at Silverstone.
“Sunday looks to be difficult again, there will definitely be a dry race, there are some very fast Ferraris, but if we add more points than them and Mercedes it will be another good Sunday”Ferdinand added.
Mercedes are 2nd in the Constructors’ Championship with 168 points, with Aston Martin just 5 points behind with 163. Ferrari are fourth with 12835 from the green box.
