“Today he was fast again and when I stopped in the box [mid-session] we were talking about my time, and [crew chief Marco] Rigamonti said t🐎o me, ‘Maybe, it’s enough’. I said ‘I think Quartararo will be faster’ and in the end, he was faster.

“I tried [to fight back], but I pushed a bit too much on that last sector and I lost time.🌸 But apart ﷺfrom that, I’m happy with my pace, happy to start on the front row, which was the main target.”

Quartararo’s final pole margin was 0.118s.

“It was amazing to really make this pole position,” said Quartararo. “Thanks to all of the [fans] to💫 be really here to supporting us. It's a really important pole position but the points are this afternoon and on Sunday but we will give our maximum to make [the fans] enjoy.”
