-    Qualifying: P3, 1:10.434, 18 laps

• Carlos was just 92 milliseconds away from pole in in the Qualifying session of the Dutch GP, which proved to be the tightest of the year so far with three cars within one tenth of a second.
• The Ferrari driver put together a faultlessly Qualifying as he made it through Q1 (1:11.767) and Q2 (1:10.814) with a single set of new Soft tyres in each session, and therefore reached Q3 with two sets in the bank.
• He did a 1:10.747 lap in his first outing in Q3, but then he was able to improve by three tenths of a second to set a 1:10.434 and clinch the third spot of the starting grid.

QUOTES:
“We knew today we were up for a good battle and it proved to be one of the closest Qualys of the year. Finishing P3 within less than a tenth from pole shows how thin the margin was today”.

“I expect a close race tomorrow with even more cars in the mix but I’m confident we can fight for the top places. Overtaking may be a bit easier than last year and strategy will play a big role. Tonight together with the team we will evaluate all the available options in order to maximize the result in the race”.
