Conflicting qualifying results for Haas F1
In practice the Haas F1 drivers were roughly equal in pace, but in qualifying the experienced Esteban Ocon was knocked out already in the first session, while young Oliver Bearman battled in the final…
Oliver Bearman (9th): "Nice to be back in the top ten — I've been waiting for this for a long time. A few times I performed well in qualifying, but the desired result didn't come, and this time everything worked out.
Qualifying went well, I felt confident. The gap between results is incredibly small; I hope we can score a few points tomorrow."
Esteban Ocon (19th): "The car was competitive and allowed me to fight in the final, but first there were problems with the safety harness that prevented me from braking, and then I lost three tenths of a second because of yellow flags. Just bad luck. Tomorrow I'll do everything to make it up."
