“Today’s tight Qualifying result was not unexpected considering the level of competition we expect in Formula 1. At the same time, P2 and P3 are good starting positions for tomorrow at a circuit we knew was going to be more challenging for us.
“It was not the most comfortable Qualifying session. In Q2, we needed the last lap for Lando to make it into Q3, which shows the impact of a small mistake in Formula 1 at the moment.
“Historically, Monza often produces an exciting race for the fans, with many factors at play. We are in a good position and we are confident we can make progress to maximise the result for the team.”
