Hajar: I'm pleased with how we handled it.

      At Racing Bulls, after an unlucky Friday they decided to completely strip down the car in an attempt to turn things around, and it worked — Isaac Hadjar made it to the final…

      Isaac Hadjar (9th): "I'm very happy with the team and with how we handled Friday's problems. Overnight we rebuilt the car, made a few changes, and it paid off. I put in some good runs and reached the qualifying final, and in the race I want to score points.

      There can be different scenarios in the first corner, because in Mexico it is quite far from the starting grid. We have to take any opportunity to make up ground."

      Liam Lawson (15th): "The car was quick today; I got through the first part of qualifying fine, but in the second part we had balance issues and a mistake on the first lap made things a lot more complicated. The second lap wasn't great, so the team decided to abort the run and go out again on scrubbed tyres. In the end the car became even slower.

      Given my starting position, the race will be tough for me, but we will work with the team to score points."
