“It simply came to our notice then. We have already seen in Imola that these conditions are good for us, and today we have therefore fulfilled our task, “said Magnussen.
“It was about constantly improving time as conditions on the track improved. You therefore have to keep pushing, I enjoyed these conditions. Mick did a great job as well, finishing in sixth place, so we’re in fifth and sixth place. It’s a great team result and I’m very happy with it. “
Schumacher does not expect to move forward in the race
Schumacher finished in F1 for the second time in the top ten and sixth place is his best result.
“It was a very good qualification, although we did not get the most, because with the last set of tires I did not get the timing. We had to launch one bike due to traffic and everything got a little cold, which I didn’t want, “said Schumacher.
“I am still satisfied with the sixth place and it is a good position to start. Given the speed of the cars around us, I don’t expect us to move, but we’ll try our best and see where we end up. It is our best qualification so far and I am very happy with the team. “
