Haas F1 are disappointed with the qualifying result.
Haas F1's drivers were unlucky in the tricky qualifying conditions in Baku – Esteban Ocon was knocked out in the first session, Oliver Bearman in the second…
Oliver Bearman (15th): "I tried to do the lap even faster, but I clipped the wall at turn two. Every lap counts on this track, but my attempt was ruined by a gust of wind – I can only apologise to the team."
Esteban Ocon (18th): "Because of brake problems the tyres were constantly locking up. We had this issue yesterday as well, but today it got worse, which I'm very unhappy about – our car was capable of more here. Today's result was disappointing. I hope tomorrow we take our chance and achieve more."
