Q3

Hamilton once again led the pack in Q3 and kept his Mercedes in the top spot. His teammate, Valtteri Bottas will start on pole as the world champion endures a 10-place grid penalty for an internal engine combustion change and will take off from P11. Therefore Max Verstappen will start tomorrow’s race from second, with the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc in third.

Driver Reaction

Lewis Hamilton

“The track is absolutely awesome with the grip level it’s giving us now. The session was really tricky with some damp patches, but it was a really great job by the team. I’m so happy with the performance, in terms of getting us out at the right time.

“Tomorrow’s going to be difficult, but I’ll give it everything. It’s not the easiest overtaking at the moment, and we’re all on the same tyre, so I imagine tomorrow’s going to be difficult to move up.

“You saw Max in the last race once he get behind sixth, but we’ve got the long straight down the back – hopefully we can give the fans a good race.”

Valtteri Bottas

“It was a good qualifying, not easy conditions, especially Q1 with the damp parts. There were some good laps, I really enjoyed it, and it’s the result we planned.

“Lewis with his penalty gets the minimum he can, and I’m on pole – so it should be good.

“I’ll focus on my own race tomorrow, that’s the way to go when you start in front, and try to keep up a good pace.”

Max Verstappen

“Going off at the beginning was tricky with the conditions, but compared to yesterday we managed to turn it around quite well. The laps overall were quite good, even though the last one we lost a bit down the straight.

“Overall, it’s quite a decent recovery compared to yesterday. Tomorrow, lining up in second, let’s wait and see what the weather will do, but overall I’m pretty happy.

“I should be a bit better, let’s see how competitive we will be in the race. The tyre wear seems quite high around the track, but it’s quite fun to drive.”
