QUOTES:
“Positive quali today as I keep improving my driving style with this car and the feeling in all types of tracks and conditions. The consistency is getting better in Qualifying and today was a good day. The only downside is that the Alpha Tauri seems to have a bit more pace, so the aim for tomorrow is trying to beat Gasly and lead the chase to the teams ahead. A clean sprint race is key to having good chances on Sunday, so we’ll make sure we are in the best position possible to maximize the weekend. I want to thank the entire racing team for staying late and doing such a good job yesterday night to give us a competitive car today. On to tomorrow!".
