🟠| Antonelli Not Surprised by McLaren's Pole Position in Qualifying
According to the Italian, McLaren's upgrades and use of the same power unit make this result logical:
"We expected this weekend to be much tougher. In particular, because other teams prepared serious upgrades that helped them close the gap or even get ahead of us. McLaren has the same power unit as us, and they significantly improved their car. It was expected that they would be ahead. But I think we will be able to fight back. That is exactly what we will try to do tomorrow (Saturday) and also on Sunday."
