Norris: These are the positions we deserve.

      McLaren drivers excelled in the sprint in Miami, achieving a winning double, but they were unable to replicate that success in qualifying. Lando Norris showed the 4th best time, while his Australian teammate was only 7th.

      Lando Norris (4th): "I don't really know what happened, but I think it has to do with various nuances. For example, the wind picked up today, its direction changed, and the temperatures were different, but everything was in equal conditions.

      Overall, I think there are definitely more problems than yesterday, and this applies to both our cars, and we need to figure out what it's related to. At the same time, I don't think we did a bad job. I believe it was our competitors who performed worse than us yesterday, and today they did everything right. I mentioned yesterday that Mercedes are just as fast as we are.

      According to GPS data, the Ferrari and Red Bull cars were faster than us in many sections of the track, you understand? It's just that yesterday we did an excellent job and today in the sprint as well, winning the race. But you could say that today was a reality check, although, to be honest, these are exactly the positions we deserve.

      Let's see how everything unfolds tomorrow. Usually, we start well, but overall, Ferrari drivers handle this better than anyone else. I would like the Grand Prix to take place in dry weather, but it seems that tomorrow will be tough for everyone, as the forecast promises rain."

      Oscar Piastri (7th): "Qualifying was not easy; everything depended on many factors – the wind, the condition of the track surface, the behavior of the power unit. And also on various kinds of randomness.

      Overall, it wasn't our best session, primarily regarding the last attempt in the final session. I thought I did well in turns 4, 5, and 6, but then something strange happened. If the middle sector of the lap was good, then I lost a lot of time due to super clipping – it happened at a moment when I didn't expect it.

      Speaking of tomorrow, to be honest, I haven't seen the weather forecast, but everyone has been talking about it all weekend. Let's see what awaits us, although if it rains, everyone will have a lot of problems, as no one has driven these cars in the rain yet, and no one knows how they will behave. I hope we perform better than our competitors."
