Qualifying Notes • Pastor Maldonado qualified eighth for tomorrow’s Hungarian Grand Prix with a time 1:21.939. • Bruno Senna scored his best qualifying result of the season with ninth on the grid at the Hungaroring. |
Pastor Maldonado:  "My
qualifying performance was quite good, especially in Q2, but then in Q3
I came across traffic twice. I am happy for the team as we both did a
good job to put the team near the front so it's looking positive. It's
going to be a tough race here but an important one as getting points is
our priority. The gaps are very close but we are both in the top ten and
now we need to push for a better position in the race. We have the car
and qualifying place for a good finish tomorrow."

Bruno Senna "It’s
been a good weekend so far and I’m really happy to be in the top ten for
the first time this season. Q2 was extremely close but we were able to
get through. I could have done a better lap in Q3 but I’m pleased with
the result and having both cars in Q3 is great for the team. The car has
felt consistent and our long run pace is looking good. We’re in a strong
position for the start of the race, so from here I’ll be pushing to
bring home some good points for the team."

Mark Gillan Chief Operations
Engineer: "Both
drivers did very well today in qualifying in what is an extremely tight
and competitive grid. We are very pleased to get both cars into the
final session of qualifying for the first time this season and look
forward to the race tomorrow. The forecast indicates that the race is
likely to be wet and the rain could be heavy, especially towards the
later stages of the race."
