Bottas: Aston Martin has improved, but Williams is close.

      Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez qualified in the last row at the Hungaroring circuit. The Cadillac drivers will try to achieve a better result in the Sunday race.

      Valtteri Bottas (21st): "The qualifying went smoothly, I managed to put together some fast laps. We found the right settings, and I felt quite confident behind the wheel.

      It seems that Aston Martin has made a step forward, at least in terms of speed on a single fast lap. But there is a positive side – we are close to Williams.

      The team needs to focus on its own work, continue to improve the car, and make the most of its potential. The race will be a tough challenge for us, as hotter weather is expected. Let's see how everything unfolds on Sunday."

      Sergio Perez (22nd): "After missing most of the third practice, the qualifying was challenging, and everything had to be done in a very tight timeframe. The car behaved differently than I expected, especially in the fast sections of the track, so we need to figure out what affected its behavior.

      We know the car has potential, so now the task is to achieve a better result in the race."
