Hulkenberg: I couldn't make up as much as my rivals.

      Nico Hülkenberg looked decent in the first part of qualifying but couldn't improve in the second and was knocked out...

      Nico Hülkenberg (13th): "For some reason I couldn't claw back as much in the second part of qualifying as my rivals did. The first run was very good, without the slightest mistake, but on the second I couldn't get any more out of it — in the second sector the rear of the car was nervous. Still, I'm starting 13th and can hope for points. Let's see what tomorrow brings."

      Gabriel Bortoleto (16th): "To be honest, it's a bit frustrating. The first two runs in qualifying went well, but on the final attempt with a fresh set of tyres I couldn't put it all together. There was no grip around the whole lap, so it didn't come together. The pace was good, which is why I'm so upset. It's difficult to overtake on this track, the race will be tough, but we'll do everything we can and take any opportunity to fight back."
