Liam Lawson: We have made some small improvements.

      Liam Lawson showed the 12th result in the main qualifying session of the weekend in Miami, while Arvid Lindblad, his teammate from Racing Bulls, couldn't even make it to the second session and finished 17th...

      Liam Lawson (12th): "To be honest, this is pretty much the maximum we could have hoped for. We had a problem with the car yesterday, which caused us to drop out of the sprint qualifying in the first session, so you could say we achieved some small improvements today.

      However, I believe everyone else has also made progress, and we still can't catch the guys in the top ten. For example, Alpine is a bit faster than us, but our car is capable of a good race pace. However, if everyone can finish and the race goes under normal conditions, it's hard to expect points. Still, it's also difficult to predict anything."

      Arvid Lindblad (17th): "The session was tough; from the very first lap, I wasn't as comfortable behind the wheel as I was during yesterday's sprint qualifying. Moreover, I'm not in the most favorable position; after all, I'm a rookie, racing in Miami for the first time, and we're facing challenges this weekend.

      Yesterday we managed to salvage the situation because I felt quite comfortable behind the wheel, but today the difficulties increased. I don't know what the issue was, but during my final attempt in the last corner, all the cars bunched up, and that prevented me from properly preparing for my lap – this applies to both tire warming and battery charging.

      But we need to analyze everything in detail and try to understand why I was not competitive enough. Before today's qualifying, we made several changes to the setup, although perhaps that wasn't the right decision. It's easy to say that now, but we did everything we could, and in tomorrow's race, we need to try to make progress."
