Well done, it's another strong performance from Racing Bulls.
How happy were you with your own SQ3 then?
Yeah, I mean the team have done a really good job.
Again, two cars in Q3 was really good for myself.
It's not been the easiest day.
We had a few issues with the deployment in Q1
and we just managed to get it fixed for Q2.
It still wasn't perfect but it was good enough.
And then in Q3, I don't know, I just wasn't very quick.
So I need to understand why it felt quite different to what I was expecting.
It wasn't really that much more grip.
I just need to look into why.
Yeah, I think for myself it's been an okay day
but the team have done a good job to help us out.
There'll be learnings to take into Grand Prix qualifying, I'm sure.
How interesting could the sprint be itself?
Are we going to see quite a few overtakes?
Because obviously the battery is going to be significant here.
Who's got deployment and who hasn't?
For us, I'm not sure.
Realistically, I don't think we're really going to be fighting the guys in front.
In quali, we can be somewhat close but they do have a pace advantage.
They're always much better in the race.
So I don't think we're going to be really fighting much further forward.
I think it's going to be very much about learning,
learning about what this car is like in the race for Sunday
and obviously trying to do a good race.
