Valtteri Bottas (No. 77) – 5th and 2nd<\/b><\/p>\n
The Finnish driver is delighted to have achieved a very good qualifying in Germany while being ideally prepared for the race: \u00ab The car performed very well today and it is ready for the race. As a team, we are thrilled with the result. My last lap was almost perfect. So I can’t be disappointed with my session. \u00bb<\/p>\n
For tomorrow’s race, the goal is clearly the podium, especially with Lewis Hamilton’s grid penalty: The Mercedes are still a bit faster than us but we will work hard to get ahead, even if it will be difficult. The goal for tomorrow is to stay ahead of the Ferraris and the Red Bulls. Let’s hope that the cooler temperatures forecasted for tomorrow will work in our favor.<\/p>\n
Felipe Massa (No. 19) – 4th and 3rd<\/b><\/p>\n
After a fine qualification, Felipe Massa hopes he can finally deliver tomorrow, after a series of incidents that ruined some great races in previous weekends: \u00ab It was a very good qualification for us. I didn’t manage a perfect lap but we are second and third. So, we can’t complain. Tomorrow’s race will be difficult, which made today’s qualification more important. I’m very happy with the result. Let’s hope we can keep moving forward and have a great day tomorrow. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
