Ромен Грожан:
I think the top-10 for us is sometimes a bit optimistic in qualifying. We’re always better in the race. In qualifying, we’re still missing a few things that we can improve, but it takes a bit of time. We had added a bit of front flap. It was maybe a bit too much. The conditions out there were also tricky today. The wind picked up a little bit at the end. It caused me a big snap into turn 15 (Stowe). The wind can really change the balance of the car here, depending on the direction. If we hadn’t had that, then we could’ve been closer to moving into Q3. Thirteenth for tomorrow is not the worst place to start the race. If our long-run pace is good, that should help us.
Естебан Гутиерес:
Q1 was pretty good. I struggled a little in the beginning with the tires, but then things started to get underway. In Q2, I had traffic in the first stint, which wasn’t ideal. During the second stint, the wind picked up and it became a little gusty out there, which didn’t allow us to extract the maximum from the car. However, we were pushing all the way, getting everything out of it that we could. We’re optimistic. We’ve done a good job as a team, so I’m confident that tomorrow will be a great race.
Гюнтер Щайнер:
A good team effort, 13th and 14th. We are always very close to getting into Q3, and that’s certainly one of our aims over the next few qualifying sessions. We are making progress. The team worked very well and the drivers did a great job. We’re consistent in our performance, so I’m sure we’ll be up there soon enough. Overall, I’m happy with the result today. Tomorrow we’re going to go for points, and I think we’re in a strong position to get them.
