Hungarian GP: Qualifying notes - Manor

NEWS STORY
25/07/2015

Roberto Merhi will lead the Manor Marussia F1 Team's charge into tomorrow's 70 lap Hungarian Grand Prix, after finishing 19th in this afternoon's qualifying session at the Hungaroring. His teammate Will Stevens will line up right behind him in 20th place.

Roberto Merhi: "I had a good qualifying today, so I'm really happy with the way this week is going for me. Tomorrow will be a tough race, but with the weather looking like it might be cooler, I think we can improve a little more. It would be good to give the team a nice result tomorrow on a difficult day, and leave us with a positive feeling as we head into the break."

Will Stevens: "The weekend has been pretty tough; the hot temperatures have hurt our balance a little and I've been struggling to get confidence in the car. Qualifying was okay. My first run didn't really go according to plan, as I made a mistake through the quick turn out the back, so there was a lot of pressure for the second. I lost quite a bit of time compared to how the first run had been going up until the time I had to abort, so it wasn't perfect but Roberto and I are still pretty close and we'll see how things go tomorrow. The temperature is expected to be quite a bit cooler for the race, which should help us."

John Booth, Team Principal: "Both drivers have performed well today and it's clear that both of them are pushing hard to ensure we can have a good race here tomorrow. There has been very little between them all weekend, which is great to see. It's been a tough week so far, and tomorrow is likely to be harder still, but I know the team will continue to show magnificent fortitude to ensure we can achieve the best result possible."
