"I wanted more and thought we could have achieved more as we headed into Qualifying, but ultimately we didn't have the pace to challenge for Pole. As a result, I am happy with where we have ended up. It has been a solid weekend, and I think we've built up to it nicely. It was a clean session, so not much more we could have asked for. Let's see what we can do tomorrow."

“Not a great day. I just wasn't able to drive at the limit of where I needed to be. Some things for us to work on, but hopefully we can make some progress tomorrow.”

"A competitive day on track with multiple teams challenging at the very front of the grid.  

“There’s a pattern from Baku and Singapore that resembles Canada, where the braking with the bumps and curbs creates challenges for the MCL39. Ultimately, some other teams seem to handle these circuit types slightly better, but this doesn’t come as too much of a surprise. This, however, is still important information which we can take on board as a team to learn and move forward.  

“Despite this, we still have good starting positions for tomorrow’s Singapore Grand Prix. We are ready for another tough but entertaining race and can be confident with hard work and preparation overnight that we can be in contention for a podium finish or even the victory.”
