Lewis Hamilton happy with third place in qualifying in Barcelona…
Lewis Hamilton (3rd): “I’m happy. I’m very happy that I made it to the top three.
The year has not been easy, but all our employees have given their best on the ground and now we are starting to see the results of this work.
I didn’t expect to fight for pole position, but at some points I was close. We have made a huge step forward thanks to the efforts of every employee on base – they worked on the design and did everything they could so that we could bring these new items.
Gradually the car turns into a racing car. I hope that with her help we can fight the leaders.
“George has done a great job too, so hopefully we can put pressure on him at the front tomorrow.”
George Russell (4th): “We believed we could fight for pole. The car behaved perfectly, the team traditionally performed well in Barcelona. But in the end the gap between Lando and Max turned out to be a little bigger than we expected.
I don’t think Lewis and I did a perfect lap. No, the laps were good, but on such a difficult track you have to put the tires in the optimal mode and find the last few tenths. Lando succeeded today, but we did not. But third and fourth places are excellent positions for tomorrow’s battle.
On this track, faster cars will always win. Yes, there is a strategy, there is tire wear, but if your car is a tenth faster, then this advantage is more important than the strategy.
Of course we will try to do something about it. And we hope we have enough speed to fight Max and Lando. We have already completed three races with these new products. It’s nice to be back in the fight!”
