Oscar Piastri slammed down the hammer in qualifying today; out-pacing his teammate Lando Norris once again. McLaren finished the sessions 1-2 ahead of Max Verstappen who had to settle for P3. Pisatri said, “I’m very happy with today. It’s been a good weekend so far. The car’s been mega today, and I feel like I’ve been able to put in some good laps. Thank you to the team for all the hard work. This was very different twelve months ago, so to have turned it around in the best way is a great result. We’ll make sure we try to get a good start tomorrow and bring home the points.”
Norris also offered his thoguhts post race saying, “A decent result today. I think the pace is definitely there. We just didn’t get the most out of the car on a couple of corners, but it’s a good result for the team. A nice one-two, and a good place to start for tomorrow. We’ve got a lot of quick guys behind us, so we won’t count them out, but we’ve got the best car underneath us. We’ll do our best to bring home maximum points.”
