Oscar Piastri: I will be glad of any weather

      Oscar Piastri was in the lead during qualifying, but in the end he was only third – and not too upset...

      Question: Before the qualifying final, it seemed that McLaren had no rivals here, but Verstappen won the pole. Will you be able to fight him in the race?Oscar Piastri: I think I can. Max did a great job, achieving a great result, but we have a fast car, we are still fighting for victory.

      The race can be rainy, this year we have proven that we are fast in all conditions, so I will be happy with any weather. Let's see what happens in the end.

       Q: On the last lap of the qualifying finals, you were fastest in the second and third sectors. And what happened on the first one?Oscar Piastri: Yes, it was not my best sector. In the final attempt, I drove it a little worse than in the first one. But when the 1st and 3rd places are separated by four hundredths, every little thing matters. Overall, I am satisfied with the qualifications.

      Question: Do you have a plan for tomorrow?Oscar Piastri: Not yet. Let's see what the weather will be like, and we'll act on the circumstances. The plan is to try to finish two places higher than I start. But let's see what happens.
