Peres: It's great that we managed to squeeze the maximum out of the car.

      Sergio Perez was close to advancing to the second part of the qualifying for the sprint in Montreal, but ultimately showed the seventeenth time. The Mexican Cadillac driver intends to use Saturday's sprint as preparation for the main race.

      Valtteri Bottas only showed the twentieth time. The Finn explained that he was unable to complete his final attempt due to red flags.

      Sergio Perez (17th): "I think we got the maximum out of the car, and that makes me happy. We changed a few things on the car before the sprint qualifying, and that allowed us to get closer to advancing to the second part. In the end, I ran out of time to do another lap.

      I hope we have a good sprint on Saturday and prepare for qualifying and the race. Our main goal is to gather as much information as possible before the race, considering that there may be bad weather conditions on Sunday."

      Valtteri Bottas (20th): "I was unlucky today. In the last two laps, I tried to get the most out of the car, but unfortunately, I was hindered by the red flags.

      Although it doesn't show in the results, I feel that we are moving forward. This weekend we changed a lot on my car, including I now have a different chassis. It feels better, and the car's behavior is different from what it was in previous races.

      There are still many important sessions ahead, and since this is a sprint weekend, we continue to fight."
