To achieve pole today was unexpected. We put the lap together and didn’t make too many mistakes so that was really positive. The day didn’t start that well and the Sprint was not good for us. There wasn’t much we could do after the penalty, so you just have to refocus and do your best in Qualifying and we went from last to first within the day. We had adjusted the car a little bit beforehand and in each Qualifying session we just chipped away at it a bit more. I think we can still improve on the slow speed and I do think that we are not the quickest over a lap but we managed to put it together, which is the most important thing in Qualifying. When you arrive to the track you go to race mode and of course, I’m very happy about achieving pole. At the end of the day it is all a Team effort; you have to look at every single detail and we are really trying our best with the car. Looking to tomorrow, in the dry we wouldn’t have that same pace but in the wet a lot of things can happen, but we need to be on it. We have some decent pace, but we need to maximise everything that we can. We will see what we can do.

I was expecting more from Qualifying, but the Sprint was a good recovery, so it’s mixed feelings for me today. The positive thing is I scored points in the Sprint and if I can go from the pitlane to P6 in the Sprint, then anything is possible. I gave it my all out there in qualifying, in previous qualis I have made some mistakes and I felt like this one was pretty clean, so I am a little disappointed it was only good enough for P10. The lap was alright but we definitely have a bit more to find, I don’t want to be in a bad mood and to keep overthinking it, it’s hard but we can’t think that straight away we will be top five. Gradually I am improving race by race, so I did want a bit more today, but we have to be patient. The pace in the long run in FP1 wasn’t great but we have adapted the set-up and the car is different now, so I can maximise better in the race when it counts and I feel confident in it. The rain mixed things up in the Sprint and we don’t know what is going to happen with the weather on Sunday yet. I made up 14 places today so tomorrow I only have nine cars to go! I want to score good points; I will stick to my positivity and do my best.

This morning, I raced my first proper F1 race in the wet, so everything was new for me. The start of the Sprint wasn’t good, but we’ll review it ahead of tomorrow’s main race. Then, for the rest of the race, I think our pace wasn’t good enough. Probably pitting a couple of laps earlier would have been better, but it’s always easy to say it once you're looking back. As for qualifying, it was frustrating today. I think we had a good enough car to go through to Q3, but unfortunately we missed it by only a couple of hundredths. Just being a few places in front would have been better for tomorrow, but that’s part of the game. It isn’t exactly the session we wanted, but I feel like I did my best during my lap. It seems we’re still losing most of the time in the chicane section, so we’ll have a look at it to understand where we can improve. It should be raining tomorrow or at least mixed conditions at some point, and starting from P11, I believe that with a good start and strategy, we can fight for points.

We had a good start in the Sprint race and I managed to make some overtakes on lap one. The pace was ok, but everyone was struggling with the track drying. Alonso was obviously coming out on cold tyres and I stayed behind him and waited for DRS. The contact with Alonso wasn't intended and resulted in an unfortunate incident. The penalty is a really tough one to take because other than that it was a great start to the weekend. When it came to Qualifying, we clearly had a battery issue during the session which meant the car wasn't getting full power. It's a shame because we found a good step in the car today. We're hopeful that we can fix the issue before tomorrow and the weather is definitely going to impact expectations for the race. We go again tomorrow.
