Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes), first place: “I am very happy that I managed to win the pole position, also because we had quite a few problems with the settings. In the end it turned out very well, despite the fact that I had quite a few problems with bouncing the car and we were looking for settings on how to fix it all together. In the end, it unfolded in the best possible way. An exciting race is definitely ahead of us tomorrow. "
Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari), second place: “First I would like to congratulate Valtteri for the first starting position, I was close myself and I had a good feeling, but in the end I ran out of something small. Where I lost is hard to say, a few thousandths here, a few there, I think in fast corners, but that’s just the way it is. However, perhaps the second starting position is an advantage here, as it is closer to the second bend. Anyway, I believe that we will watch an interesting race, also because we all start on the same tires. "
Max Verstappen (COM)Red Bull), third place: "I am satisfied with the third starting position, this year we are much more competitive in this racetrack, which does not suit us the most. The differences between us are small, I believe that it will be possible to do something in the race itself. We are usually faster on such tracks than in the qualifications and we will see how we will do tomorrow. "
