Yuki Tsunoda: “It was a little bit of a tough qualifying for us. We knew it wasn’t going to be straightforward to get by to Q3, however as a driver, you at all times need to transcend expectations.
“My lap was okay, even when there’s at all times some room for enchancment, however sadly, it wasn’t sufficient at the moment. Our principal rivals appear very robust, however something can occur and we’re not giving up, so we’ll do our greatest to get better positions throughout the race.”
Liam Lawson: “Most likely one of many closest qualifying classes I’ve skilled, each little hundredth makes a distinction. We extracted every little thing we may have out of the automobile at the moment; when you may have two vehicles collectively like that, it normally means you have extracted probably the most out of it. An ideal lap may possibly have gotten us into Q3, however we simply did not fairly have the pace for Alpine and Haas, which is irritating, however we’ll try to make one thing work tomorrow.”
Guillaume Dezoteux (Head of Automobile Efficiency): “Simply as within the free observe classes, qualifying was very tight within the midfield. The problem was to adapt to the wind, optimise tyre preparation, respect monitor limits and handle site visitors, which was tough significantly in Q1 with 20 vehicles on monitor. Each drivers did job and managed to get to Q2, however we struggled to enhance the efficiency since yesterday. eleventh and twelfth on the grid usually are not unhealthy positions for the race and we’re positively concentrating on factors tomorrow.”
