Camara disappointed by mistakes but sees positives in wet São Paulo qualifying debut

After a difficult qualifying debut at his home race in São Paulo, Rafael Camara said he was disappointed with his mistakes but still considered the rain-hit session positive overall.

The Haas driver spun and hit the wall in Q1, then went into the barrier in Q2, bringing out a red flag. Camara thought a lock-up at the final corner had left him unable to make the turn, and described the moment as a little unlucky. He also said he knew the mistakes were not what his team wanted.

Camara was 13th fastest in qualifying, but grid penalties for drivers ahead will put him 11th on Sunday's starting grid. He said his goal was a clean race and that he would review data with the engineers to prepare for different scenarios.
