Kevin Magnussen had to settle for the seventeenth spot and was followed by the veteran driver Sebastian Vettel in the eighteenth position. Vettel, who got knocked out in the Q1 session sounded low on the team radio.
It’s in the toughest moments that we learn the most.
Needless to say, a double Q1 elimination is not what we had in mind for Qualifying at our home race.
We’ll take this on the chin, put our heads down tonight and give it everything to fight back tomorrow.#F1 #BritishGP pic.twitter.com/WFoQYzRlpe
