Lewis Hamilton, curious statements, after the humility in the qualifications from Imola: “I made progress”

Oscar Piastri after the third session of qualifications from Imola: “Today they have proved to be an enigma”

“There were very difficult qualifications because of the delay and red flags. With the softest tires it has been difficult to record a fast tour, because it is very difficult to keep them alive throughout the circuit. Yesterday we all thought that the soft tires are not bad at all, but today they have proved to be an enigma.

The team did an excellent job to adjust the car. This weekend we tried a few different things and I think we were preparing for qualifications.

My last tour was good, in the last turn I had four cars in front, which did not help me, but I was fast enough. I am satisfied with what I have done today and I am impatient for the race of tomorrow.

It was a difficult decision to first go out on the track for the last attempt, because you lose the advantage of the slipstream, but fewer cars are confusing you and there is no dirty air. We chose what to do and this proved to be the correct decision, an excellent job of the team, ”said Oscar Piastri, according to Sportal.bg.

Lando Norris reacted after the third qualifying session from Imola: “The same story”

I suppose I was just not fast enough. This year I had no solid performance in Q3 and here it happened the same now.

This means that tomorrow I will have to recover positions. It will not be easy, because the overruns are difficult on this circuit, but that's the situation.

The same story, I do not do well enough in qualifications and then try to have fun in the race, tomorrow it will be the same.
