Mixed feelings for Booth in qualifying

Manor Team Principal John Booth will have mixed feelings ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix due to his drivers differing opinions of their qualifying performance, but both Will Stevens and Roberto Mehri will jump 3 places up the grid as a result of penalties to McLaren pair Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso, and also Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo.

"Qualifying was a bit of a mixed bag for us, with Roberto seemingly revelling in the slightly damp conditions and Will being a little less happy today. That aside, both our short and long run pace was looking promising yesterday, so all in all I think we’re in good shape and ready for a race that could end up being very interesting."

"The weather forecast is for mixed conditions and again today we have seen that even the cars at the front of the field have ventured off track in the first and final corners. Our aim is to have a good strong race and resume our previous run of two-car finishes.”
