"I didn't expect today's pole, so maybe that makes it the best one. I didn't expect to make this lap time – it was today's highlight. My start was bad, and in general I expected more from the Sprint, but I made a mistake choosing the medium tyre. The team was pushing me to go with the hard, but I wanted to go with the medium because I set the pole on that tyre and it felt stable, and I had good grip on the used tyre. But the medium was really soft for us in the afternoon. I'm still happy, though. Basically, I said: 'If the medium tyre works, it's good, and if it doesn't, it's good information for tomorrow'. Now we know we need the hard tyre for the Race."
