“I’m delivering in qualifying when it counts. The good races are around the corner.”
“Plan for tomorrow? Try to stick it on the podium!

Liam Lawson, who qualified third:
“I can’t even remember what happened, it was very busy! The car has been good all weekend, massive thanks to the guys and girls – but tomorrow is the important day.
“It’a always sketchy, you feel the rain coming on your visor, you’re fighting your brain not to back off.
“It’ll be a very hard race, great starting position.”
