Oliver Berman: We lacked speed to reach the final.

      Qualification in Spa ended unsuccessfully for Haas F1 – Esteban Ocon was eliminated in the first session, while Oliver Berman posted the slowest time in the second...

      Oliver Berman (16th): "A tough day. We lacked speed to make it to the final. We did everything we could, but our best result is 16th place. We looked a bit better in the previous session, but in qualifying, other teams achieved more.

      I drove my attempts well – this is one of my best qualifying sessions, every lap was faster than the previous one, so I’m satisfied from that perspective. But no one in the team can be happy with the car's speed; we continue to work in that direction. It's great that the car's balance has improved a bit compared to previous races."

      Esteban Ocon (18th): "We knew it would be tough – the car seriously lacks speed. In the first session, we were almost five tenths down on the straights – and we tried to get into the slipstream of another car to lose less time.

      I drove my lap normally; I’ve handled this before, and the team is satisfied. Unfortunately, the car lacked downforce, but it is what it is."
