Fernando Alonso: "I was happy with the lap in Q3 and it was good we made it into the top ten, but we didn't have the performance to do much more than that.

"We made some changes between sessions but overall, the car proved to be quite difficult to drive in FP3 and Qualifying. We are also starting on the dirty side of the grid, but we'll see what happens tomorrow and hopefully battle for the points."

Lance Stroll: "Seems like one of those days where putting clean laps together felt difficult to achieve. I pushed on the second run in Qualifying and unfortunately locked up the front in sector three where I lost too much time. We will start from P17 tomorrow and see what we can do. The car has been feeling tricky to handle here all weekend so it could be a long and tough race for us."

Andy Cowell, CEO & Team Principal: "As usual a very close grid here in Singapore with eight tenths covering the top ten. Our pace has been up and down through today and the car has been unpredictable, especially in the final sector. Both Fernando and Lance were suffering there in Q1 which stopped Lance progressing into Q2.

"We will do our homework tonight and we know races here in Singapore can be very unpredictable. P10 puts us in the thick of the midfield fight and we will do what we can to try and score some points tomorrow."
