Mercedes were the favourites prior to this weekend and although they took it easy on Friday, the true speed of the Mercedes came out during qualifying. Lewis Hamilton was just a bit too fast for Valtteri Bottas in the end and the gap to the other teams is big.
"In the end, it was a big gap between us and third place, but in the end, it doesn't matter. The fight with Bottas was tough. We pushed each other to the end. This is a great track to drive.
"Of course, we had that spider. Qualifying driving is about confidence. I don't know how I did it, but I managed to keep calm and those two laps in Q3 were really good."
