Hungarian GP: Declarations of the first three qualifications

Max Verstappen immediately after the end of the qualifications, in a mandatory interview of the first three, he said with a wide smile: "It simply came to my notice then. The whole racing weekend I had a good feeling in the race car. It’s always harder in qualifying, but this time I made it nonetheless. The car literally flew down the track, it was amazing. I am extremely happy and satisfied, but the most important thing, the race, is not coming tomorrow. ”

Valtteri Bottas, who was faster this time than his teammate, was of mixed will at the Hungaroring after a failed start to the race weekend. Glad to beat Hamilton, disappointed that he was closely behind Verstappn. "On Friday, after the engine failure, I slowly broke through first, looking for a rhythm, and today, in the third training session, I succeeded. The qualifiers were tense and it was very close with Max. We knew it was Red Bull fast on this track, but the race is only tomorrow. I will do my best to get it. ”

Lewis Hamilton, who will have to attack only from the second starting line tomorrow, said: “Of course I am disappointed as I was counting on the best starting position. But I honestly have to congratulate Max and Valtteri for doing a better job today, and I know for myself that I didn’t get the most out of my race car in the fastest lap. I am aware that it is possible to attack tomorrow's victory from another species as well. The race will be long and anything is possible. It's a long way to the first bend, so I can get a place with a good start. The strategy will also be very important tomorrow. "
