Fernando Alonso, R2904, P13, 1:45.707

"Today we were not competitive enough and we struggled in both Q1 and Q2 where I did my best. However, it was a very unusual session, today we had great rivals eliminated in Q2. Tomorrow this should make the race more competitive. interesting and then there is always the weather which can play a key role. So we won't give up and we will do our best to fight tomorrow."

Romain Grosjean, R2903, P19, 1:46.359

"It was a difficult session, there was a lot of traffic today. I got blocked on a couple of my fast laps by a Toro Rosso and then on my last fast lap by a yellow flag. However, the car has been good so far and I really like this circuit and so I will give my all to move forward, finish the race and gain experience."
