After clinching the pole, Jeffrey said, "It's the first time that I am driving on a Formula 1 track and it feels great. The track is far more sophisticated than any other track I have ever driven on. I have my basics right but I still feel I can push the car even further.
"Tomorrow is not going to be easy as I have strong fellow racers in Avdumber and Ameya. Volkswagen coaches and technicians have helped me to prepare myself for my first race here in India and I would like to thank them for their support."
