Mekies on P2 for Verstappen
"We're able to fight. Fair enough we're not on pole. Only two, three races ago we weren't able to be in close range of pole at Zandvoort. It's testament of everyone's hard work"

Piastri on McLaren's lack of pace
"I would have wanted more today but I don't think we had four tenths in it to get pole. Ultimately, pretty happy. It's been a good weekend so far and built up to it nicely. A clean session and that's all I can ask for."

Russell reaction
"Amazing to be on pole position. Yesterday was a very challenging day for many different reasons but good to come back and get a result. A long sweaty race tomorrow but I knew there was potential in the car. Kimi was doing an amazing job all weekend.
"I gained quite a lot to see what he was capable of doing yesterday. Very happy to be on pole."
