Fernando Alonso: Another difficult qualifying session

      In the fourth consecutive qualifying session and for the fifth time this season, the Aston Martin drivers occupied the last two positions in the session's protocol...

      Lance Stroll (21st): "In the morning, we couldn't get the car set up properly for the sprint, but we made some changes and achieved better settings for qualifying – I felt much more comfortable. We're still not where we want to be, so it doesn't matter much, but I think the lap was good."

      Fernando Alonso (22nd): "Another tough qualifying session, and the car behaved exactly the same as in all the recent weekends. These are our positions at the moment, but there are positive aspects – optimal strategy and effective energy management. Moreover, we are good at starts, as we demonstrated again in the sprint.

      The team is working hard to improve results; let's see what we can learn in tomorrow's race."
