Lando Norris qualified 11th in Bahrain – he had just failed to reach the final, and the team’s newcomer, Oscar Piastri, fell out in the first session …
Lando Norris (11th): “Eleventh place in the first qualifying session of the season – I’m quite happy with the result as I fully exploited the car’s capabilities. I could have gone maybe a tenth faster, but I had to gain two to gain a position.
Qualifying proved tricky, with a fierce battle both in the middle group and between the leaders. But in the end, this afternoon turned out better than I expected. Tomorrow we have a long race on the track, where you can overtake – I hope to gain back a few places.
Oscar Pistri (18e): “The result does not meet my expectations at all. First the red flags got in the way, then I failed with the second set of tyres.
But this is my first Formula 1 qualifying, a long season ahead. Today we will analyze everything and think about how to achieve more in the race. Tomorrow is another day.”
