Hadjar: In qualifying we got the maximum out of the car.
In Qatar, Ayzek Hadjar reached the qualifying final for the fourth consecutive time, where he posted the sixth-fastest time. The Racing Bulls driver hopes to score points on Sunday. His teammate Liam Lawson qualified twelfth.
Ayzek Hadjar (6th): “Saturday went pretty well, and I'm happy with our performance. In the sprint I had a fantastic first lap, and if I hadn't then lost position battling with Kimi and Carlos, I probably would have scored a point. Then in qualifying we got the maximum out of the car. I don't think we could have qualified any higher. Sixth is the best result for us. The car was easy to handle, and I reached its limit quite quickly, then just added a bit with each lap. In the race it's important to get a good start, although my position is on the dirty side of the grid. I'm preparing to attack as much as possible throughout the race and aim to score points.”
Liam Lawson (12th): “The car's handling has been very sensitive this weekend, but compared to Friday the situation is much better, so I comfortably made it through the first part. Unfortunately, minimal setup changes made it difficult to drive, so I couldn't find any extra pace in the second session. It's frustrating, but it's still a step forward compared to Friday. Besides that, we have a very good race pace and no balance issues. We'll work together and try to improve before the race.”
