Daniel Ricciardo: "Generally today was really good. It's always hard to know where the others are but I think we're pretty happy and the longer runs seemed to be a bit more competitive so we're getting there. Not a bad Friday. We look fairly good compared to Lewis at the moment but I feel they'll have a bit more at their disposal tomorrow. I especially wanted to get on top of the race runs today and understand it a bit better, as that was a weakness last week in Austria. I think we're doing alright. Sunday could be a really good fight with Ferrari for a podium. Hopefully we can make those tyres last a bit longer and get up there."

Max Verstappen: "A very good day. I enjoy driving here and we are competitive, although it was a bit tricky in the second session with the wind but that's the same for everyone. Long run and short run pace was good so we are hoping to be close to the front. You never know what Ferrari or other teams will do but for the moment we are very happy with where we are, it's a bit of a power track but there are still some corners which suit us. We are not too far off the Mercedes which is always good. There were one or two balance issues so we will make some changes overnight because you always want to be going forward and remain up front. I'm pretty happy but I want to go even faster tomorrow. I think if we can be the second team on the grid that would be very good. Definitely a positive start to the weekend."
