Yuki Tsunoda: “It was a little bit of a tough qualifying for us. We knew it wasn’t going to be simple to get via to Q3, however as a driver, you all the time wish to transcend expectations.
“My lap was okay, even when there’s all the time some room for enchancment, however sadly, it wasn’t sufficient in the present day. Our essential rivals appear very robust, however something can occur and we’re not giving up, so we’ll do our greatest to recuperate positions through the race.”
Liam Lawson: “Most likely one of many closest qualifying classes I’ve skilled, each little hundredth makes a distinction. We extracted all the pieces we may have out of the automobile in the present day; when you’ve got 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 velocity for Alpine and Haas, which is irritating, however we’ll attempt to make one thing work tomorrow.”
Guillaume Dezoteux (Head of Car 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 observe limits and handle site visitors, which was tough notably in Q1 with 20 vehicles on observe. Each drivers did a great 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 dangerous positions for the race and we’re undoubtedly concentrating on factors tomorrow.”
