During the night in AlphaTauri, they managed to solve some of the problems that had arisen the day before, but this had almost no effect on the results of qualifying.
Yuki Tsunoda (14th): “We didn’t expect to go into the second part of qualifying, so I’m quite happy with that, but I’m angry that we didn’t have any new soft tires by then. However, this was the plan from the start.
We didn’t work in long ranges in the evening conditions, but today we’re going to analyze everything carefully to prepare as best we can for tomorrow’s race.
I am happy with my performance today, but everything will be decided in the race. Our aim is to score points, we know from last week’s testing that this track is not suitable for us, but anything can happen in a race.”
Nick deVries (19th): “I was hoping for a better result, but I couldn’t get the tires to work. The last attempt in the first session went well, but I lost control of the rear of the car.
On long ranges of circles we need to be more competitive, which can help tomorrow. In the middle group of teams, the battle is very tight, you need to regain at least a few positions. In the evening we will think about how we are going to do it.”
