Pirelli’s Motorsport Director Paul Hembery: “We’d like to congratulate Mark Webber for his first pole position with us. Like a number of other drivers he was able to use the new PZero Silver hard tyres to get through the first qualifying session and also save a set of PZero Yellow soft tyres for the race, making use of what appears to be the perfect strategy so far. But Mercedes have also put a very interesting plan in place by running Michael Schumacher on the PZero Silver tyres in Q3: it will be fascinating to see how he gets on in the race. As we’ve hoped, the teams are using our tyres to put in place increasingly creative race tactics, which should provide us with another great race tomorrow. I’d also like to give a special mention to Williams: a fantastic effort from Pastor Maldonado has put the team in the top 10.”
