As soon as we went into Sprint qualifying it looked like we were off. It was a bit difficult with the bumps and I feel like the resurfacing has made it more difficult to drive. It was extremely bumpy which isn’t great for our car as it was jumping around a lot and unfortunately costing us quite a bit of lap time. For tomorrow, I don’t think we are the strongest in the race, so will have to see how that goes in the Sprint. Of course the weather might have an impact, but we will have to wait and see. We have a bit more work to do.

I’m very happy. It’s my first time back in SQ3, I know it’s a Sprint, but it’s positive that we made a good step up from this morning. The track was really challenging for everyone earlier, but what we did worked, and I’m pleased with the work that everyone’s done. Obviously, it’s going to be tough tomorrow, but we’ll be pushing for points. We struggled on the long runs, but we were also on softs so let’s see, anything is possible, I’m sure it’s going to be a rough race, but we’ll do our best.

Sprint weekends are always a bit of an unknown, especially here at Interlagos. We had a good SQ1, but in to SQ2 we were struggling with the balance and had a bit of understeer with the track coming down. We tried to do something with the brake balance and then ended up too rear limited. It was a bit confusing with the run programme, we thought we might have a chance for a second lap at the end, but we didn’t and that ended our day a bit early. We got caught out with the conditions on track today, but we’re looking forward to improving for tomorrow’s qualifying and Sprint race.

It was a tough Sprint Qualifying. I felt my lap was pretty good, and normally it should have been enough to get through SQ2, but unfortunately, I just didn’t have pace. I’m surprised that we’re so far away in terms of lap times. Tomorrow it won’t be an easy Sprint starting from the back but I’ll give my best.
