Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen, who starts on sprint pole, commented: "It's always challenging to say [if he knew he could get the car on pole]."
"I think during the initial qualifying segments we weren't too bad, quite close and in SQ3 the key was perfecting your lines with only a single opportunity so it presents a real test."
"Everything went well, the performance was solid. I anticipate there will be a fierce contest during the upcoming race versus the McLaren team. Conditions are slightly hotter but all drivers are in the same boat."
"I anticipate there will be an intense duel."
