Their long run looked bad, so I guess they may need to sacrifice a bit of quali pace. Williams was the other way around: among the best on the race tires, not much improvements on softs.
Why would you sacrifice qualy pace here?
Well there's always a line where your race pace/tire life could be so devastating that you'd be guaranteed to get no points no matter where you start on the grid.
Even when teams do prioritize quali, it's only to a certain degree. You can always overdo it, except maybe at Monaco.
