Toro Rosso out of ten but confident for the race

The top ten goal was not achieved, but the Toro Rosso it looks equally positive for the race, especially considering the progress in pace recorded in the last free practice session.

“When I crossed the finish line I was happy because my engineer told me I was ninth, but then I slipped to eleventh place, so I'm disappointed even though I'm aware that I did my best – the consideration of Daniel Ricciardo – The morning was intense as I had to make up for the long run I didn't do yesterday due to my off-track, ultimately sacrificing some time for pure performance. All in all it went well and moreover I will be able to choose which compound to start with."

“I'm quite satisfied with my lap despite losing a bit on a curb,” he said Jean-Eric Vergne, 15th – For the race I believe we can finish in the points given the close gaps and the improvements on the single-seater. I foresee strong wear on the soft tires which will open up various strategic possibilities."
