Max Verstappen: "I think we had a very strong Saturday and it has been really positive.

"I was very happy with the Sprint win, it was an eventful race and it was great to get those points. We then made some final changes going into Qualifying to help out the balance a little bit and extract the best performance of the car. I was pleased with how the whole of Qualifying went and with the changes that we made that will hopefully make things easier tomorrow. We worked with the Team to understand what we needed to do with the car and extract performance. We unfortunately missed the final push run by a few seconds which wasn't ideal but luckily the lap we had was enough. I hope that we will also be strong in the race tomorrow and we need to be good on the tyres. It is difficult to tell as a lot of things will change, it will be a lot cooler and the wind direction will change which usually has a lot of effect on the balance of the car and should help us in the right way. Overall it has been a really good day for us; everyone is pushing very hard bringing performance constantly and the last few races have been very strong so we are looking forward to tomorrow."

Yuki Tsunoda: "I have had a mixed day. The Sprint was very good for me, a lot went on in the first lap, I tried to overtake and out brake the cars in front at turn one. Sending it down the inside was worth the risk; I jumped 11 places but also picked up debris and took another front wing almost half a lap. It was a good recovery and result for driving with two front wings! Going into Quali I felt good but my final lap in Q2 was complicated. It was feeling really good until I hit traffic, I was blocked by Liam and the Alpine, it felt like Pierre was in the way, so it could have been miscommunication on their side. Without that I think I would have been in Q3. It feels like I can't have a normal Qualifying at the moment, which is really frustrating, as the car feels like it can perform. I felt something pretty good from the car, so it is a shame that last lap didn't come together. The positive for tomorrow is that I had the race pace this morning in the Sprint and have shown I can jump up the field if I take the right risks.

Laurent Mekies: "This has been a very strong day for us and that was down to a great effort from everyone back in Milton Keynes and here at the track. It started off with Max winning the Sprint race. It's true that we got a bit lucky with both McLarens out immediately after the start. But Max drove a very strong race, defending against George to pick up maximum points and more importantly some very useful information on how the car is behaving on long runs. It was also a pretty impressive opening lap from Yuki, making up ten places or so to bring home more valuable points. As for Qualifying, we made use of what we had learnt from the Sprint to change the set-up for the rest of the weekend. Max's qualifying was even stronger than yesterday's Sprint Quali, which means the Team did a great job, going in the right direction. Yuki didn't quite make it to Q3, but as he demonstrated in the Sprint, from where he is starting, he will be able to fight for points tomorrow."
