Pascal Wehrlein finished in fifteenth place at his first Malaysia Grand Prix and said that he enjoyed the race and the battle with his team mate.
Wehrlein great start to the race, going from 21st to 15th on the opening lap lap.
"Well, the first lap was pretty cool. I got a good start and was up to 15th from 21st quite quickly, so that was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, after that, we didn't have the pace to fight as closely as we would we like and gradually we started to drop back."
"Realistically, I knew yesterday that it would be more of a battle between Esteban [Ocon] and me, which we had, and it was good."
Ocon also made a good start and was as high up as seventh, but ultimately missed out on the points. Nevertheless, the Frenchman was pleased with his performance in the race
"I had some fun with that. The start was excellent and on the Soft tyre on the first stint we could have a good race. Once we pitted onto the hard tyre we started to struggle.," he said. "We had a decent battle with [Marcus] Ericsson but I couldn't beat my team mate, who was on a different strategy, and the penalties put paid to that anyway."
