I’m relieved to have gotten pole position. We had been in good condition from the official tests and our sponsors had been looking forward to a good performance from us, but I had been feeing a bit of unexpected pressure as a result. In the end, although this is still just the qualifying, it is the job of the drivers to turn those expectations into solid results. I was confident that I had the concentration necessary to put in one very fast lap, but must admit honestly that I am still relieved that I was actually able to get pole position.

I am very happy to have gotten pole position. The car had been set up perfectly for Q2, and tat was thanks to the advice given by (Kenta) Yamashita after running in Q1. Watching him driving on the monitor, it looked as if he had been struggling somewhat with an under-steering tendency, but thanks to the advice he gave after his session, our mechanic Takeshi (Tsuchiya) had been able to adjust the settings well so I was able to get pole position. I am very grateful to the two of them and to the whole team for the great job they have done.
