Stevens: The weekend has been pretty tough

The thoughts of all members of the F1 paddock will be with Jules Bianchi, especially in the garage of the Manor team. The racing must continue though, and the Manors took to the track in qualifying in the honour of their late teammate. Will Stevens, in his first Hungarian Grand Prix, qualified 20th on the grid after a close battle with his teammate.

“The weekend has been pretty tough; the hot temperatures have hurt our balance a little and I’ve been struggling to get confidence in the car. Qualifying was okay. My first run didn’t really go according to plan, as I made a mistake through the quick turn out the back, so there was a lot of pressure for the second."

"I lost quite a bit of time compared to how the first run had been going up until the time I had to abort, so it wasn’t perfect but Roberto and I are still pretty close and we’ll see how things go tomorrow. The temperature is expected to be quite a bit cooler for the race, which should help us.”
