Red Bull continue their dominance this season with another one two in China.
“It was tough today. I was not so happy yesterday and this morning especially Mark was quite a bit quicker than me,
We did some changes and went a little bit in Mark’s direction but it was extremely difficult. “I was struggling in the first sector especially but now in qualifying I was purple in sector one.
I found a line like last year a little bit. I had two very good runs in Q3, the last corner on the first run I was a bit too wide, otherwise it would already have been a good time, but the second run was a bit better everywhere.
It was a fantastic lap, and the fourth consecutive pole position for Red Bull. We are proving we have a very good car independent of the circuit type. We are always up there.
Special thanks to the mechanics because they had zero lunch as we required a lot of changes that they had to work from free practice to qualifying.”
