French grand prix qualifying
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: Conditions got a step trickier during Q1 as the wind picked up and this seemed to harm our competitiveness. FP3 went well and we did a good job with the tyres, but we expected that our position in the timesheets was a bit flattering for the real pace of the car.
Q1 was going well until the wind picked up for the final run. This upset quite a few drivers, including both Alex and Nicholas. Alex had to abort his final attempt and Nicky, who was on a good lap at the time, lost a lot of the gain at T8 and was unable to improve. Fortunately, as other drivers also struggled, Alex's time from his first run was good enough to qualify for Q2. Conditions remained tricky and Alex wasn't quite sure how the car would react and so his pace wasn't as good as it had been earlier in the weekend. However, due to some PU penalties, we will now start from 13th and 18th tomorrow. If the wind is favourable, then we can have a good race from there and look to score some points.
Alex Albon: I think I got a lot out of the car today and was happy with it – the wind did pick up and I struggled a bit with this. I think we've been slightly fortunate throughout the weekend so far with the low wind, but it picked up in qualifying and was getting stronger and just went the wrong way for us. The team are doing a good job and have come up with a really different package, so we really are fighting towards Q2 which is exactly where we want to be. Starting P13 puts us in a good place for tomorrow so let's see what we can do from there.
Nicholas Latifi: From the first practices there were positive signs, as well as an adjustment to the driving to get used to the new package, but it's felt like a relative step forward in performance. We should have safely been through to Q2, but the wind picked up for my final lap and I lost a lot of time. I was progressively chipping away, so I should have been around eight tenths quicker than the time I did, but it all went away from the chicane onwards; I lost all the grip. The pace was there in the car and there are clear signs of improvement with the upgrade. We'll check the car overnight and hope that the wind calms down for the race tomorrow.
