Canadian GP qualifying quotes: Marussia

Max Chilton - 21st: "That was a very tricky qualifying. It wasn't easy to read the track before our first run but it was soon very clear that the Supersoft we had started on was not the way to go. It was like an ice rink! Once we'd switched to the Intermediate tyre I had the confidence to start attacking and we were making good progress, but the track was evolving the whole time so everyone was going quicker. On my quickest lap I got blocked but it's good that we start ahead of at least one of the Caterhams tomorrow. I hope we've seen the last of the wet here and we can look forward to a dry race, as things were quite promising yesterday."

John Booth, Team Principal: "The wet conditions made for a difficult day for the Team. FP3 threw up more than the usual challenges with only half an hour of running, however at least both cars got onto the option tyre at the end and Max had a particularly good end to the session. Jules didn't quite get the best out of his tyres having run wide and onto the damp conditions on the dry tyres, however we could see that, in the main, the cars were pretty much as we'd expected them to be after we'd applied our overnight learnings. The Qualifying session was obviously very difficult. We felt it was right to try and use the option tyre, however, as with most of the field, we stopped almost immediately for the Intermediate. Whilst there was nothing fundamentally wrong with the timing of our runs, traffic and varying water conditions meant we never got the best from either driver. We're much happier with our performance on dry tyres and, although there is still a slight risk of rain tomorrow, it does seem that it is more likely to be dry than today. We look forward to that being the case and making as much progress as we can."
