FP3: 1st, 3rd
Qualifying: 3rd, 5th

“It wasn’t a qualifying session that we’re used to seeing. We did well, but Ferrari really came out strong at the end. I think they were surprised too.”

“Q1 and Q2 seemed to be a struggle for them, but in the first run of Q3 they set a very strong time. In the second run they mightn’t beat it. We I had a strong lap, but it wasn’t enough.”

“I want to congratulate them and they were very fast in a very chaotic session, but it was good to see Daniel in fourth and Czech in fifth as well.

“I’m looking forward to tomorrow. We have a good race car and as long as we don’t have any trouble on the first lap, we should be able to set up well.”

“Starting from the front is not something you want to do on this track, which has a big downhill all the way to Turn 1. It will be interesting to see if the Ferraris run in formation, but the track is quite wide, so it’s really exciting. It’s going to be a great race.”
