"It was definitely a good Saturday for our team. Having Fabio qualify in P3 underlines that we are making progress and are heading in the right direction. Álex also did a good job making his way through Q1 to take ninth on the grid, which is great. Like I said yesterday, starting towards the front can make a big difference here. Fabio had a good start and put himself in a good position to fight for a place on the podium. He came very close in the last corner of the last lap. Álex didn't quite capitalise on his third-row start, so that is something we will hope to change for tomorrow, but he did manage the rear soft really well. We saw in today's Sprint that tyre degradation is a key factor. Álex and Fabio seemed to be able to keep a good pace going when the tyres dropped, which is good information for tomorrow."
