The qualifying session was tough, with a tiny difference between the riders. Taiyo did a good lap time in Q1, winning a place in Q2, where he couldn't repeat his performance. It was a pity because he had a good feeling on the bike. Mario improved his sensations on the bike, as well as Tatchakorn. Overall, our three riders had a favourable view of the race, we moved ahead full of energy.

Honda Team Asia Today I completed a joyous day here in Austria. I did a good Q1, gaining a place in Q2. Maybe I pushed too much in the first outing, going out of track many times and losing every lap. With the new tire, I tried again, but I made a mistake calculating the time remaining. I didn't score any lap time, that's my mistake, and the only I can say to my team is sorry. I could do it better, but now is the time to change my mind and think about tomorrow's race.

Honda Team Asia The feeling from FP3 to Q1 increased a lot. I'm unsatisfied with the result because I couldn't show my better lap time. Now we should decide on the tire to use tomorrow. I feel comfortable with the soft front and rear. The resume is that I'm not happy with the result but a lot with the work that my team is doing to give me the best setting. The asphalt was hotter in Q1, and I felt very well in this condition. That is a good sign for tomorrow.

Honda Team Asia Day by day, I feel better in the Championship. My team knows me perfectly, giving me an ideal setup to improve every time I go on the track. In Q1, I had an option for a better result, but a yellow flag cancelled my best lap time. Tomorrow, of course, I'll try to do my best.
