Statements of the first three qualifications of the Spanish GP
Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes - pole position"Q3 was very good. We were strong all weekend and I was a little worried about any changes we made to the qualifiers. We’re always trying to make the race car better, but that’s a little bit of luck, as you have to keep the race in mind as well. My first lap was the best I could take in qualifying. I can’t believe I’m already at a hundred pole positions."
MaxVerstappen, Red Bull - second place"It was good. I struggled a bit in Q1, but I think we arranged a race car for Q2, and then both laps in Q3 were pretty decent for me. I think only the second round was a bit worse. The wind is changing a lot, but it was still very good for us on the track today. I know they are hard to beat here and if I am that close, I can be happy with that. There is a long way to go before the first turn, but first you have to have a good start and have speed. So I hope I can have a good race."
Valtteri Bottas, Mercedes - third place"It was very tight. I definitely aimed at the pole position. The first lap in Q3 was faster, but in the tenth turn I made a minor mistake, which probably cost me the best starting position. We have a strong package for tomorrow’s race, no doubt. He will be among us tomorrow and Red Bullom closely, if we can handle the tires well, there is the possibility of one stop or two, but I will not tell you our strategy."
