Styria GP: Qualifying Team Notes – McLaren

Lando Norris: “A very good qualification – in the end P3. The car felt good during the entire qualifying, I was confident and was always able to make small improvements. That brought us P3, which is nice – especially that we Only two are. And a tenth of a tenth behind pole. A lot of positive aspects and a very good position for us to score solid points tomorrow, but it’s a long race and there are the points. That’s the most important thing. “

Daniel Ricciardo: “Not the best day, I don’t know why. Obviously yesterday was good and the afternoon was very encouraging. We lost a lot of pace overnight as this morning was pretty slow, and then qualifying was a similar story. A bit strange at the moment. Yesterday looked very promising, so it’s a shame. I never expected to be P13. We’ll try to understand that and have a strong race tomorrow. “

Andreas Seidl, Team Principal: “P4 in the qualification today – which means that we will start P3 tomorrow – is the best starting position that we have achieved so far this year. Team for a clean execution of the qualifying session. Of course, Daniel and we are disappointed that we couldn’t get further than P13 with his car. We will analyze that, reset it and start again tomorrow with the clear goal in the points.

“Besides that, it was great to see the performance from one lap that we had in the car today. A big thank you to everyone here on the track and at home who worked very hard to make this possible. We’re looking forward to another exciting game. The goal is clear: We want to keep collecting good points for our fight in the constructors’ championship. “
