Max Verstappen: We'll try to fight for the victory
Max Verstappen won the Silverstone qualifying and will start from pole for the fourth time this season. After the session, the Red Bull Racing driver reflected on the day and promised to fight for victory in the race.
His teammate Yuki Tsunoda's qualifying ended in the second session, where he posted twelfth place.
Max Verstappen (1st): "A difficult qualifying due to the wind. In the first, second, and third sessions, its direction was constantly changing, and modern cars are very sensitive to that.
My final lap was quite good for pole. Silverstone is a real track where you need to attack to the limit. You have to give your all in these corners, and I enjoy that.
We are quite fast on the straights, but that made it challenging in the fast corners, but today, everything worked out. We'll see what tomorrow brings and whether it will rain, but I am happy with our qualifying. The result was a great boost for the team, and I am looking forward to tomorrow's race.
We will try to fight for the win because that's why we came here—to race. It will be fun, and we'll do everything we can."
Yuki Tsunoda (12th): "The car handled well, but it's disappointing that at the end of the session, in the last corner on a fast lap, it didn't deliver the power it usually does, and I lost a few tenths and a few positions.
Telemetric data clearly showed us this power loss. It's very unfortunate that such a problem occurred exactly when the lap time mattered. Especially since the weekend had been going well before qualifying.
If it weren’t for this issue, I would have made it to the final qualifying session because I had the pace. I felt I was extracting maximum speed from the car, and I am very upset with this result."
