Sergio Perez: We have a good racing pace.

      The best result for Cadillac in the qualifying of the Austrian Grand Prix was the nineteenth time set by Sergio Perez. The Mexican stated that after having problems with the car on Friday, he purposefully prepared for the race during Saturday's practice. Valtteri Bottas qualified twentieth and lamented that he lost a few tenths due to traffic in his final attempt. Sergio Perez (19th): "A tough day. After Friday's practice, I was in the role of the underdog, but overall, we achieved the maximum. We dedicated the third practice to preparing for the race, as we knew how significant tire degradation would be tomorrow. The gaps are minimal, but we have a good race pace, so I hope our approach pays off." Valtteri Bottas (20th): "Today we could have achieved more. During the last attempt, I found myself too close behind Sergio and got caught in traffic, so I probably lost a few tenths because of that. Despite all the technical issues we faced on Friday, we managed to find optimal settings and see that the updates are working. We know we need to keep working to close the gap to the midfield teams. Tomorrow will be a serious test, considering the high temperature, but let's see what we can do."
