Carlos Sainz (STR11-01, Car 55)Third Practice Session - Best lap: 1:09.008, pos. 18th, 11 lapsQualifying - Best lap: (Q1) 1:07.618, pos. 15th“Definitely not a good Saturday for me today. We faced an electrical issue in this morning’s FP3 and we decided to change the engine for precautionary reasons ahead of this afternoon’s qualifying. Unfortunately I was only able to do 10 laps before having to stop… For sure we could’ve qualified higher today and I’m disappointed with the result. You certainly never want to qualify so far back, but now we just need to think of a good strategy for tomorrow and push for a strong comeback. I will give it my all to finish in the points!”Danill Kvyat (STR11-03, Car 26)Third Practice Session - Best lap: 1:08.786, pos. 16th, 32 laps

“Not the qualifying we wanted. It’s a real pity! During Q1 I went on the outside kerb at turn 8 and the right suspension failed. The crash was unavoidable, but fortunately I’m okay. It’s being a tough weekend so far and we have a lot of things to analyse, but I’m sure that, with hard work, we can get on top of things by tomorrow. In the race anything can happen and we will fight hard to achieve the best possible result.”
