Esteban Ocon (13th): "It doesn't feel like we got the maximum out of this situation, we had much more pace. I had to lift on the penultimate lap, and when I started to attack again the tyres had cooled and I locked them up entering Turn 1.
I didn't improve my time on the last two laps, but we had enough speed to make it into the final part of qualifying. It's a shame we didn't get through to the final, but it's positive that even in such difficult conditions we were fighting."
Oliver Bearman (14th): "It was nice to get through to the second part of qualifying. In the first part I made a mistake, but I set a good lap on the previous run and went through.
The fact that we lost so much in the second session I can explain by only one factor — the tyres. I attacked on every lap, and in the first session that worked well when the track was wetter, but in the second it dried and the tyres started to overheat.
I'm disappointed with the qualifying results, we clearly could have done more, but I'm looking forward to the race — tomorrow we have every opportunity for a good result."
