Frederic Vasseur: ‘The qualifying result is a bit frustrating, because the car was clearly quick all weekend and even today, as we were first and second fastest in Q2.’
Alexander Albon: ‘We need to review what happened today. We put on new tyres after Franco crashed, then went out when a red flag was likely coming, so we ultimately wasted a set. That left us on used tyres for our first Q2 run, which actually went well, but we had a compromised second run.’
Ayao Komatsu: ‘Ollie making that mistake in FP3 and receiving a 10-place grid drop for the second time is not good. We’re starting (18th) so that’s just something we have to deal with, and we can’t repeat that.’
Andrew Shovlin: ‘George put together a very solid lap at the end of Q3. We were down to a single new soft tyre by the final segment of the session, and that puts a lot of pressure on that final effort. To be less than a tenth and a half of a second to pole is a good result, although slightly frustrating that the gaps ahead put us just a few hundredths of a second from the front row.’
Lance Stroll: ‘I was really happy with the car setup yesterday, but today I struggled with balance and pace, similar to last weekend where we looked competitive on Friday, but then struggled during qualifying on lower fuel loads. We will need to look into this to understand it better because I’m not sure why.’
‘Sebastian Montoya came through from sixth on the grid to finish in second for Prema Racing, as Roman Stanek made it two Invicta cars on the podium in third.’
