Dave Robson, Head of Vehicle Performance: It's a huge  disappointment for the team to be fielding only a single car today and this is a situation that must not happen again. Despite the disappointment and frustrations, the whole team pulled together last night and rebuilt the car that Logan had used on Friday with a new PU and gearbox ready for Alex to use today. It was a very impressive display from an extremely determined, proud, and professional group of people.

Today was always going to be tricky for Alex but he carried the responsibility very well as he began to recover from missing FP2 yesterday. Helped significantly by Logan, who generously offered valuable and welcome advice, he was able to make good progress throughout FP3 and Q1. Q2 proved a little more difficult as he pushed to find the extra couple of tenths required to qualify for Q3.

Tomorrow will be an interesting race with the Soft tyre compounds potentially allowing a variety of strategies to be competitive. Alex will need to quickly understand how to manage the tyres at high fuel having missed all high fuel running yesterday. It won't be easy, but starting from P12 offers an opportunity to race the cars ahead and compete for the final points-scoring positions.

Alex Albon: No one wants to go racing like this, I don't want to go racing like this. It's one thing to make a mistake in FP1 and then back it up and try and deliver in Qualifying but to be in this situation, I take that responsibility on, and the significance is not lost on me. It's tough but now the only thing I can do is focus on my job, put it behind me and treat it like a normal weekend. Obviously, I'm a session down, but that's all I could do and so far, I think we've done a good job. The ultimate pay back I can give to the team and Logan is to now go fighting for points.
