We desperately wanted this 1 point for our effort to take a come-from-behind season title tomorrow. In the morning official practice, the car's balance wasn't very good and I worried that it might be difficult for us to clear Q1, but the team was able to find us a good setting before the qualifying, and between Q1 and Q2 they adjusted it to my preference. So, we were able to take pole position with the team moving in a good direction.

This was my first pole position win, so I feel very good. I am very grateful that everyone on the team prepared the car so well and that Marco [Mapelli] ran so hard to get us to Q2. In Q2, I drove as hard as I could to live up to everyone's expectations. I was really very nervous before the qualifying, but once I started driving, I had good grip from the tires, so I was able to attack hard in the timed laps. I'm very happy with this result.
