Antonelli: With Max on the front row, the start will be crucial

“It’s great to be on pole position,” the Italian stated. “The session wasn’t easy for me; the track changed a lot. But we improved our performance lap after lap and ultimately took the top spot.”

“Tomorrow is a completely new day, and of course, with Max on the front row next to me, it will be crucial to get a good start and be at the front of the pack heading into Turn 5. The start will be decisive.”

“My last lap in qualifying was good; I significantly improved my performance in the second sector, though I left a little time here and there. But I’m happy.”
