Kvyat: “Surprised by my good performance”

Daniil Kvyat he was surprised at himself. In fact, in his only two outings with an F1, the young Russian talent managed not to make any mistakes and even stopped the clock in eighth place in Interlagos free practice, two results above his expectations.

“In fact I didn't think I would go so well also because with this type of single-seater so different from the others it is difficult to make predictions on the speed that will be able to be reached – he told Autosport – If we take Austin as an example, a new track for me, it is It was incredible how quickly I memorized it, finishing just three tenths behind Ricciardo and the same here in Brazil I only did one run and the times were good, I'd say encouraging."

Then on the benefits of this double experience in FP1 with what will be his car in 2014 he concluded: "It was useful, in the meantime it allowed me to get to know the team better and then it gave me confidence in the vehicle so now I no longer have to thinking about driving or braking, while I still have to get used to the downforce and the many buttons on the steering wheel."
