India’s Kush Maini driving (BWT Alpine Academy /ART GP) qualifies 3rd fastest for F2 race in Silverstone.
Excerpts of F2 Post Qualifying Press Conference with Kush Maini
FIA Formula 2: Kush coming to you, extremely tight margins out there today just missing out on P2 how was that session for you?
Kush Maini: Yeah I think obviously run one first lap I was happy with. I think we were P1 and Alex did a good lap on the second lap and I really didn’t have the grip so going into the second set I knew it was going to be tight between at least a couple of us and I think the lap was good until sector three. I think sector three I didn’t really put it together, the car was great today and a bit from my side there in sector three I don’t know if it would have been good enough for pole but definitely a lot closer but still you know top three in a Championship like F2 I mean sometimes it doesn’t matter if you’re first or third at the start you know. So it puts me in a decent position as well for tomorrow to get points in both races and I’m generally happy.
FIA Formula 2: You’d mentioned sector three I actually was going to ask you about that do you know like exactly what happened in the lap?
Maini: Yeah I just missed into Stowe, did the wet line basically. I was missing the rubber so for sure a bit lost there but I mean if you ask these two guys, I’m sure they can pick out places where they could have done better so.
FIA Formula 2: If you had to put it all together, do you think pole was possible today?
Maini: Probably but then he will say he can go another tenth or two quicker so it’s the same story, I think.
