Lance Stroll was left happy with his qualifying effort as the Canadian progressed into Q3 and will line-up on the grid in tenth position tomorrow. 

Stroll admits that he didn't start the session very well, but after he calmed down a bit he was able to find a good rhythm and progress to the further stages of qualifying.

"The first run in Q1 wasn’t good. I was just getting into it and didn’t deliver the lap I knew I could deliver. On the second set of tyres, I just kind of calmed down and it was an amazing lap; I was really happy with the car.

"Then moving on to Q2, we had a good session. To get into Q3 the time was a tenth slower than my Q1 lap, but I knew it was good enough. Since I had used two sets in Q1, I only had one for Q3, so I just went for it. It wasn’t a good lap, but my goal was to get into Q3.

The 18-year-old is looking towards to race tomorrow, stating that it will be a long one. He will be hoping to cross the finish line and finish the race, which he failed to do in Melbourne due to a brake disc failure. 

"Tomorrow there is a long race ahead of us, so even though Q3 wasn’t as good as I think it could have been I am still very happy with the overall qualifying."
