Max Verstappen has hit out at fans who threw flares on to the track during qualifying for the Dutch Grand Prix.
Today's post-qualifying press conference with Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
Today's team principals press conference with Franz Tost, Jost Capito, Otmar Szafnauer, Andreas Seidl, Frederic Vasseur and Guenther Steiner.
The 72-lap Grand Prix is quickest on paper as a two-stopper, but that doesn't exclude a one-stopper.
When you watch elite sportsmen at the top of their game they can really turn it on under pressure and Max did just that.
Qualifying just behind the top three teams is a strong result, demonstrating we have the pace to score good points tomorrow.
We know that, so far, Verstappen has had a very strong race pace and tomorrow we will try and put him under pressure to make life difficult for him.
It was frustrating not to have the chance to improve our times on the final run of Q3, we were a tenth up on Verstappen and Leclerc so Lewis was in contention for the pole here.
Today's result is roughly in line with what we were expecting after what has been, so far, a difficult weekend.
It will be very important to manage the tyres and ensure we control the degradation, and if we do this well then hopefully we can fight for points.
We have a good selection of tyre remaining for tomorrow and there is still a long way to go this weekend.
All in all, it was a frustrating session but both our drivers showed very good pace and will therefore approach tomorrow's race with controlled ambition.
