P7 and 10... Felt like both drivers didn't have the best Q3 runs. P5 was not out of reach. Anyways, am encouraged by our pace on mediums for tomorrow! ONWARD>>>>>
Less than a tenth from Red Bull.. Not bad for a team supposed to be at the back.
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?

Unless this track just suits the car, we are not .5 seconds behind Haas and we can outdevelop them. Right now I have my eyes on passing Red Bull in the race.

Woul'd like to hear Marko comments about McL now.

So - has McLaren made better chassis or Renault better engine? :P

Ironically, it was at this track that showed the first signs last year that the team were in trouble. What a turnaround they've made, great effort, hope they can keep progressing.

Wow 7th pretty much on merit is great. If that continues through the season what a turnaround that would be.
Finally, everyone knows that Red Bull is a joke and Max Verstappen is overrated.
