It hasn’t been a great weekend and nothing has really worked throughout. The whole weekend we have been off the pace and struggling for grip and it unfortunately meant that each lap in Qualifying was a struggle. We didn’t have a good balance of the car in the laps and had quite a low grip feeling on the front and rear axel. We tried a lot throughout the weekend and we didn’t get many answers. Nothing made much of a difference, which was strange as we normally get a response when we change the setup of the car throughout the weekend. It wasn’t a great performance, but we did maximise everything that we could and we will investigate further ahead of tomorrow. We didn’t have great pace today and tomorrow it will be tough to pass the cars in front but you never know what will happen.

It's been a frustrating weekend so far for the Team. We've struggled to find pace and the lack of grip cost us time. My team are trying to find the solution, but we just haven't yet. Personally, I can feel reasonable about my performance in Qualifying, I've stayed close to Max all weekend and that’s a positive for myself. I didn't make any mistakes in the session and I only missed out on Q2 by a few milliseconds which, unfortunately, is how it has been lately. We'll see about tomorrow, it's not easy to overtake here but anything can happen with mixed conditions expected. All I can do is keep pushing.

It's good to be in Q3, particularly given it's been quite a difficult weekend so far, so it was a great recovery. The conditions changed a bit through Quali, so it's a shame we missed out on a couple of spots. Qualifying is important here and the car has been very good recently, particularly with our pace in the long runs. It's very close at the moment and difficult to overtake here, so the aim is of course to have a strong start, look after the tyres and stay in the points tomorrow.

It was a positive session overall for the team, but the changing conditions didn’t help. The car has felt good throughout the weekend, and everything was going well up until Q3. Then the wind picked up significantly, which made things tricky. I made a mistake and ended up in the grass, and after that, the car wasn’t as enjoyable to drive. I only went for one attempt in Q3, but there was definitely more potential, we could have got P7. Our race pace looks solid for tomorrow, so starting from P10, I’ll need a strong start and a good strategy. I’m ready to fight for points.
