Sebastian Vettel reached Q3 of the Japanese Grand Prix after two exceptional laps in Q2, and will start ninth after a strong performance in Q3. The Aston Martin F1 driver said on the radio that he would miss Suzuka and he confirmed a certain emotion.
“I’m happy, I had a very good session, I like this circuit so much,” said Vettel. « I had a lot of fun, it’s tomorrow that it will be more important but it will be different, because it’s in qualifying that you feel most alive here. I’m a little sad too, but very happy to my day. »
« It’s a special place, I’ve had a lot of very good times here, and one more today. If we could stay where we are tomorrow, it would be very strong. We had difficulty going through Q1, we were able to go to Q2 thanks to an incredible lap and I managed to do it again in Q3. »
Lance Stroll was eliminated in Q1 and will start from the last row of the starting grid, and he admits a mistake: « No, I locked the tires at turn 11, I lost three tenths and it was over for me. We’ll see tomorrow what we can do from 19th place, it’s not ideal but we’ll see. «
