Marcus Ericsson: “We knew this would be a difficult weekend for us. But from session to session we made steps forward on the car-side, which was important. Today in Q1 I had a good feeling in the car. We knew it would had been difficult to get into Q2, but we made it in the end. It is a shame that we are not more competitive here, but we still have room to maximise our performance. Anything can happen tomorrow in the race.”
Felipe Nasr: “I am a bit disappointed about being out in Q1. Looking back to the free practice sessions, we found a good balance for the car. In qualifying I struggled with the tyres as they were not at an ideal temperature, therefore, it was difficult to make them work. Nevertheless, I will try to fight for positions in the race.”
Monisha Kaltenborn, Team Principal: "This is a result that reflects the free practice sessions. The Silverstone track is, as expected, a difficult one for us. Nevertheless, the entire team is highly motivated to fight here – which was demonstrated by us almost making it into Q2 with both cars. It is important that we make no mistakes tomorrow in order to be ready for any opportunity which could present itself during the race."
