McLaren F1 Spanish Grand Prix qualifying -fighting for good points tomorrow

FORMULA 1 round 4
Aramco Gran Premio de Espana
Circuit Barcelona Catalunya
7-9 May 2021
Saturday, May 8th 2021

LANDO NORRIS, #4
      FP3     1m18.494s (+0.659s)      14 laps      6th
      Q1     1m17.821s (Softs)             1st
      Q2     1m17.696s (Softs)            6th
      Q3     1m18.010s (Softs)            9th

“Not a perfect qualifying today. We were quite unlucky with some traffic in Q1 run one, so that put us on the back foot as we needed to use a second set of tyres when we should’ve been safe.

“I picked up some damage after my first run in Q3, and the final run wasn’t clean either, which was quite important in the end with how much the track was evolving and the wind was changing.

“I’m not too disappointed, but it is a bit frustrating to start from the position we’re in as it’s a very difficult race to come through and overtake. We know we have a strong car on a Sunday, so we’ll do our best to get some good points.”

DANIEL RICCIARDO, #3
      FP3      1m18.582s (+0.747s)      21 laps      8th
      Q1     1m18.264s (Softs)            10th
      Q2     1m17.719s (Softs)           8th
      Q3     1m17.622s (Softs)           7th

“Overall, a positive day. We did really well to get through Q1 with one set of tyres, which gave us two sets for Q3, but obviously we missed it with the timing and, unfortunately, we couldn’t use them. I do think there’s always a tenth on the table and that could’ve been a P4 if we’d got a really good lap together. But, I don’t want to focus on that.

“Ultimately, I’m still looking at myself and how I can improve, I’m not driving the car perfectly yet. Today was certainly better, but I’ll focus on myself and I know the team will address their part for the Q3 timing.

Today was a much better day and we made a really good step from yesterday. So, I’m very happy and thankful that we found some answers and that the updates seem to be working.”
