FERRARI MAKES IT INTO Q2 TO SECURE SEVENTH PLACE ON THE GRID
MATTEO FERRARI #11
“I’m very much satisfied with today: we had a challenging morning and we became aware of it especially in FP2, where we were very consistent throughout the session. We had made a good time that could have allowed us to earn the direct seed to Q2, but it got cancelled. Honestly speaking though, I’m happy I had to go through Q1, it was a key session, which allowed me to feel a few important things. I’m happy I made it through, we made another step forward: we’re still missing something, but the pace improved a lot from FP2 and I’m quite happy with it. We understood the direction and we’ll keep working this way. It’ll be important to score as many points as possible tomorrow and to stay calm, as we did between FP2 and qualifying.”
ALESSIO FINELLO #72
“First qualifying of the season: we’ll be 12th on the grid. Obviously I’m not happy with either the result or the position: I know I can do a lot better, the feeling is still not ideal, but we know where we have to work on. I struggled a bit in Free Practice, while in qualifying we were able to find the right direction. We can have a comeback race tomorrow, we deserve a different position: it’ll be key to have a good start and keep a good and consistent rhythm throughout the race.”.
