Lewis Hamilton: “Of course I'm looking forward to this pole position, but the conditions were very difficult, once my heart almost stopped. The weather made our work very difficult. Round before my best attempt, I had a horrible moment when the race car almost stood across because there was a lot of aquaplaning. But overall, I really like driving on a wet track, as it reminds me of the beginning of my career. I can say that I am relieved because I did not do well yesterday. We later found something on the race car and now it is much better. I believe we would be even stronger on the dry track and since it will be dry tomorrow, I am looking forward to the race.
Max Verstappen: “Overall, these were good qualifications for us. In Q2 it started to rain harder and it seemed to me that the more water there was on the track, the harder it was to drive the competitive times. The car was slipping more and more and I had a hard time keeping it on the track. If you are second in such conditions, you must not be dissatisfied. It was very difficult. The visibility was appalling. Tomorrow is supposed to be dry and the speed in Friday's training gives us hope that we can win. ”
Carlos Sainz: “There was a lot of aquaplaning, it was crazy. Even on the planes, you had to master the race car to keep from escaping. On the one hand, such conditions are a great challenge and of course it’s fun to tame a race car on a wet track. But at the same time, a lot can happen at any time. To be honest, I had more stress than fun today. I wish I could invite fans into the race car to experience what’s going on for once. What makes me happy in terms of tomorrow’s race is that the long-distance race car is great, which we were able to feel on Friday. However, we know that Racing Point and Ferrari are also strong. In addition, I will have Albon and Bottas around my neck in the first rounds, which means I have a lot of work to do. ”
