"I’m really looking forward to returning to Monaco. The first time I raced there was in Formula 2. It was amazing then, so I can’t wait to experience the streets of Monaco in my NEOM McLaren Formula E car. It’ll hopefully be a stronger weekend for us compared to our previous outing in Berlin. Berlin wasn’t the weekend we were hoping for, but on paper, Monaco should suit us more.
"The whole team are doing an amazing job, working really hard, and we just have to keep our heads down. Hopefully we can score some really strong points in Monaco, which will be our goal."
"I’m excited to race in Monaco. It’s a very special track and one of my highlights of the year, with lots of history. I’ve raced there previously so I’m looking forward to taking to the circuit in the Gen3 car. During the last race in Berlin, we weren’t where we wanted to be, so I hope we will be more competitive in Monaco and we can get some points. We will make sure to give it everything and push hard as always."
"It’s great to be back in Monaco. It is such an iconic location for motorsport and we’ve seen some fantastic FE races here in the past.
"Berlin was a tough weekend for the team. However, the team has been using the frustration of the poor results as motivation to turn things around.
"Although we’re not expecting any silver bullets, we are bringing a number of improvements to Monaco. This also marks the start of the second half of the season, so there’s plenty of racing ahead of us and I can’t wait to get back on track."
