Ocon on Canal+: “A hell of a day. It's really great, I'm also starting from the interior side. We knew we had an opportunity to play with the conditions and it worked. I was a little tight in Q2 and I had lost 3 or 4 tenths. The car was magnificent. This will have to be translated tomorrow into points. I hope to stay 3rd! The stewards were right to suspend qualifying because it was very dangerous on the straights. I'm going to work to get a podium, I've wanted it for a long time. »
