Lance Stroll admits that he knew his Hungaroring weekend would be tough, which came through in the pace of the Wiliams during qualifying. The team struggled all weekend and the Canadian failed to get through to the next part of qualifying, as did one-off teammate Paul di Resta.

Stroll has ultimately pinned the blame on a lack of downforce, although he did add that there are a number of other minor factors that contributed to the pace. He stated that he needs to keep pushing and see what happens in tomorrow's Grand Prix.

"It was not the best qualifying in terms of position, but we knew it would be difficult for us, and in the end we just have to be more competitive.  We were only a tenth or so off Q2, and it is frustrating as I think there were a couple of things on my lap where I could have made up a tenth, but you can always say that afterwards.

"It is just simply tough for us this weekend, we are not as quick as we want to be and, although there are a couple of other things, it is pretty much down to sheer lack of downforce. We need to keep pushing to see what happens for tomorrow's race."
