60 minutes until the start: Oscar Piastri's commentary
Oscar Piastri starts from pole and is aiming for a victory that could help him in the fight for the title...
Oscar Piastri: "I'm in a good mood. The weekend has gone really well, and pole position is the best place to start from. I hope we have a good evening and that the race will be interesting. We'll see what happens, given the limits on the distance you can cover on a single set of tyres.
I'm feeling fairly optimistic, because starting from pole gives me the best chances, but it's important to get a good start. If I can hold the lead, I'll have a good chance, but a lot can happen today."
