Luke Hilton, Fred Green and Alex O'Grady were the quickest drivers in the first qualifying session of the year at Silverstone.
Here's how each driver reacted at the end of the sessiom.
Double pole, Luke Hilton, Nitrous Competitions ADM Racing:
"Last year was a bit of a learning year, a few mistakes I had to go over the winter and learn and recuperate on. This year is just about collecting points and keeping my nose clean.
"What I delivered today, I think I'm very chuffed with that and I think my team are happy because they did a mega job. We've worked hard over pre-season with only the pre-season official days that we've had; we've had no private testing, nothing!
"Off the bat, we've just been up there and I'm really proud of the team; we've worked hard. A mega well done to Elite and the guy in third – Green and whoever qualified third – mega job for those guys. They're close and it's not going to be an easy race. I'm going to have to really hold my white line so then I keep first hopefully. It's making sure we get a mega start and keeping our nose clean for the race and getting on with the job."
P2: Fred Green, Elite Motorsport:
"I'm quite happy, naturally disappointed because we're not on pole, but not a bad first effort for my first single-seater qualifying."
"I'll just take it as it comes and every opportunity I get, I'll make sure I make the most of, so I'm looking forward to it, and we will see what we can do."
"I've not really got a goal or anything, I just make the most out of every race. It's a long championship, so points are key, don't get too carried away but obviously a few wins would be lovely."
"I honestly can't wait, it's been a while since I've raced in England so I'm honestly so excited."
P3: Alex O'Grady, KMR Sport:
"It's not too bad. Yesterday we were P1 so we would have liked to have been P1, but I think we had the worst track position of everyone there. We went out [as] the sixth team, so it was very hard to get a lap in, I think with five minutes to go I set my first [representative] lap. So, to be less than a tenth off pole with everything that went on in front of me, it's not too bad."
"It's really difficult [to find space on track] because I had a few people go off in front of me and the last lap I got impeded as well in the last sector. It's really tough but I think I maximised what I could and it's going to work in my favour eventually at the end of the year when we are a bit further forwards. We will see how it goes."
"I think the experience definitely helps. As long as we can get off the line well, we should be in the top three and then just trying to stay out of the dirty air is the main thing around here and not grain the front tyres up. Hopefully, my experience from last year will come in handy now."
