"It was pretty okay. It's slippery out there and there's a fine balance between pushing too much and not enough. With the surface being so slippery it's hard to find the balance."

"It seems to be close then! I just tried to start the morning well, but it was slippier in here than I expected. I was maybe not clean enough in places - I was wide here and there - but with the second spare wheel, it was tricky."

"I have full soft tyres for this stage and it was moving a little bit with not a lot of grip. I tried to do my best but I am quite happy with the car. I am trying to keep the other drivers behind."

"I'm quite surprised. I was just trying to have a clean run, but the car is working very well and the engineers did a great job."

"It happened towards the beginning."

"We had a spin and the feeling wasn't good. I don't know, I was sliding everywhere."

"It felt good. Obviously I have one hard tyre on the car which is not optimal for this stage, but I had a very good stage."

"I struggled with the front of the car. I had two hards on the front and I couldn't get a rhythm at all."

"The conditions are really nice and I was enjoying the stage. To have an eight-time world champion starting in front of me is interesting - the lines are quite good, so I need to follow them for the next one!"

"In the end, it doesn't really matter. We are early on the road and softs seem to be an okay choice."

"So far so good with the tyre choice. We will see at the end of the loop, but we tried to drive, otherwise it's a bit annoying when you don't have any targets."

"Very difficult and much more humid than I expected. Our tyre choice is not good - I had two hards and that was not the best I think. Okay, we are here."
