Hajar: This is an outstanding result for our team.

      At Zandvoort both Racing Bulls drivers reached the final qualifying session for the third time in a row, with Isack Hadjar posting an excellent 4th place, finishing only behind the McLaren drivers and Max Verstappen.

      Isack Hadjar (4th): "I'm very pleased; this is an outstanding result for our team. We weren't really expecting to get to the final session, as our pace yesterday wasn't impressive. Still, we managed to put together a great lap when it really mattered.

      Liam was pushing me hard, the car felt great, and with each attempt we were able to put in better laps. I'm confident ahead of tomorrow's race: the car is working well, so there is no reason that should prevent us from showing strong pace.

      The race plan is straightforward: from my starting position I have a good view of Turn 1, and the aim is to hold on to fourth and score as many points as possible."

      Liam Lawson (8th): "We made it into the final qualifying session, and that's good. But, of course, you always want to start higher up. The pace we showed in qualifying is encouraging, and unfortunately we dropped off a bit in the third session, so we need to analyse a number of things.

      Tyres at Zandvoort are very sensitive to various factors, and with the strong wind it was difficult to find the optimal balance. The physical demands at this track are high, so a good start tomorrow is important, given how hard it is to overtake here.

      But the car has great potential, and overall qualifying was quite positive for our team."
