Summary

The car proved to be reasonably competitive, but not enough to escape from the large midfield group. Gasly scored 23 points, but could not resist an offer from the fledgling Alpine team and left after the season finished, whilst Tsunoda endured his worst season by scored just 12 points. The team finished lowly in ninth in the Constructors' Championship – same position as in 2018 (under Toro Rosso branding), but with more points.
