Jake Dennis (Prema Powerteam): “Qualifying was very good. In my first attempt, I was held up by traffic, but it was still enough for second place while I knew that there was much more in store. After the red flags, I pushed it to the maximum once again and that was enough to claim pole position. Today, my car was really great, especially in the closing stages of qualifying.”
