Valtteri Bottas qualified sixth and Felipe Massa seventh for the Mexican Grand PrixBoth cars made it safely through Q1 and Q2 as track conditions changed with slight drizzle during Q2Neither driver was able to improve their time on their second run of Q3

Rob Smedley, Head of Performance Engineering: We are a little disappointed as we think we could have been a little higher up. Our  preparations were as good as they could have been, and we feel we have missed out on fourth and fifth. We are in a good position for the  race tomorrow, but we must now focus on the strategy and make sure we take the opportunities on offer. It was so close today and we have  just missed out. Valtteri Bottas: The track has improved a little over the weekend and Qualifying was very close, as we expected. It is a shame Red Bull  are in front of us, but we have the advantage of straight-line speed which will help when overtaking. The aim tomorrow is to move  forward.Felipe Massa: We are sixth and seventh so we cannot be too happy with our performance. I did my quickest time on the first set of tyres  in Q3. I tried all I could on the second set but I couldn’t improve my time. It sets the beginning of what could be a very difficult  race where many things can happen, accidents, cars off the track, rain, so we need to wait and see as it can all change. I hope we can  move forward tomorrow.
