“It was tricky today, but we managed to get into SQ3, which is good. There’s still a gap from Haas and Williams and it seems they have quite a lot of pace. We have to review what we could have done better today and probably improve our car, to try and get into Q3 tomorrow afternoon. Starting P9 we’ll do as much as we can to try and score points in the Sprint.”

"It was good to be back in the seat today. We were up to speed pretty quickly and we were building and building, but then I think I found the limit a little bit, I went wide on the curb and got massive wheel spin and then obviously you’re trying to make up from the rest of the lap because you know you’re at a delta. It was a scrappy lap, which is a shame because the car is really fast and to be honest, I actually felt really good and comfortable, so we’ll learn from it to take into tomorrow."

“A great effort from Yuki to get into SQ3, although ultimately we didn’t have the pace of the Haas cars who are our main rivals in the championship today. But we will give it our all in the Sprint, after which we have another shot at qualifying tomorrow evening for the main race. A good job from Liam today, as he was straight on the pace in free practice. He was a little bit unfortunate to very marginally go off track at turn 1 and lose his lap time in SQ2. Without that he would have been 12th, less than two tenths behind his team-mate. So it was a very good first day for him and he can now build on that tomorrow.”
