“I don’t know why we went out first and it caught me a bit by surprise – Hamilton said in a press conference – I certainly wouldn’t have chosen to go out first, but it is what it is now.”
“I did a warm-up lap without errors and when I started my lap, already at Turn 1, I lost grip and immediately found myself a tenth and a half behind, and from then on it was a succession of problems – Hamilton added – the last lap was the worst of all, while all the others were really good.”

“We clearly had the car to take pole today, but I couldn’t give my best. The points, however, are awarded tomorrow,” Hamilton concluded.
