Antonelli denies Verstappen pole as Leclerc hits wall on final lap

🔴 Post-quali interviews

⚪️ Kimi Antonelli: “It was one of those laps that we call a magic lap. I was able to put it all together. It was such a close qualifying with Max. The first run of Q3 there was just one millisecond between us. “But I knew the last lap was good and I was just hoping that it would be enough. It was very close, and I'm very happy with that. Massive thanks to the team because yesterday we struggled a little bit and today we were able to improve massively." 🔵 Max Verstappen: "If you would have told me yesterday to be on the front row, I would have definitely taken it. This morning we had quite some difficulties with the car so heading into qualifying and being up there was extremely positive. So overall, of course, extremely happy with how qualifying went, how all the laps went even though you have to deal with all the traffic - and also the walls. "But I'm happy to be on the front row and then, tomorrow, let's see in the start. I have two cars behind me that start quite well but we'll see." 🔴 Lewis Hamilton: “It was tough for us. We were looking so strong in practice, and we barely changed anything, but the car was drastically different once we got to qualifying for some reason, so we have to take a deep dive into that. “I gave it absolutely everything. I was as close to the barriers as I could be. I think it is definitely very close between us all. I thought we almost maybe nearly had it, and then Max put in a good time and then Kimi. I think it’s great to see how close all the cars are. I think we lost something going into today, and that’s what we need to try to figure out.”
