Valtteri Bottas
It felt like a good lap, especially in the last sector, but I don’t think pole was up for grabs for us today – Ferrari was just a bit quicker. It is going to be very close between us and them tomorrow; the race start and the strategy will decide the outcome. We’ve been working on our starts and made good progress, but the Ferraris have been producing really good starts this season, so we’l l find out if we have closed the gap. It was a shame that Lewis missed most of Qualifying. He will try and get as far up as possible, we’ve seen in the previous races that he’s capable of that.
