I know that everyone in the team is working so hard and especially in the last couple of months; our mission is to win, we want to win the championship.Motorsport Images"We were using the energy at the right time, I stayed for quite a long time in the slipstream and I was trying to be quite close there and invest [in energy] when I needed to invest.
Wehrlein said that Bird posed a tough challenge in his overtures for the lead and added that this was magnified by having to take the remaining minute of attack mode still left in his allowance.
