Wolff: "I'm really glad Racing Point locks out the second row"

Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff normally likes to temper expectations, but even he can't help but be enthusiastic after today. His team was supreme and the management competition is more or less the 'sister team' of Mercedes.

"I’m really happy with today’s Qualifying result, both Lewis and Valtteri were evenly matched and they did a great job to lock out the front row, especially with the Hungaroring always being a tricky circuit when it comes to putting together a hot lap."

Cooler conditions helped Mercedes

"I think the conditions were just right for us today, a bit cooler than we’ve experienced before, and the result shows all the hard work trackside, in Brackley and in Brixworth is paying off. Now we have to focus on having a clean race tomorrow and bringing both cars home."

"Also, I’d like to say congratulations to Racing Point for their strong performance in Qualifying, I’m really happy to see them locking out the second row."
