Sergio: "I'm happy with the result today. We've taken a step forward this weekend and the new parts have made a difference. Tomorrow we have a good opportunity to race well and score points. Reaching Q3 again is a big boost for everyone in the team after a few difficult races. All the way from Q1 to Q3 I gave it everything and the margins in the middle of the grid were so small. Today a tenth here and there made a big difference. We have a strong race car as well and I'm confident we can fight with the cars ahead of us. I want to come away with some points tomorrow."

Lance: "My qualifying was far from ideal, and it's a shame because the car had the pace to make Q3 today. The car felt good in Q1 and we were competitive, but Q2 fell away from me. Yesterday we were looking really strong but we didn't really get the balance right in Q2 and if anything took a step backwards compared to where we were. I'm a little bit frustrated, but tomorrow is another day. We know we always race well and maybe we will get some wet weather. It won't be easy from P15, but I still think we can target some points."

Otmar Szafnauer: "We've improved the car this weekend and today's qualifying effort shows the hard work is beginning to pay off. Sergio is well placed starting from P8 and he delivered some clean and tidy laps across all three sessions. Lance progressed to Q2 and was much happier with the car in the lead up to qualifying. Some balance issues held him back in Q2, but I think he can move up the order tomorrow with the race pace we have in the car."
