Toro Rosso, Ricciardo: “I know we can do well in qualifying”

Day of experiments and news for the Toro Rosso with both cars managing to appear in the top 10 at least once.

“It's nice to be back racing especially on a track like Spa – he said Jean-Eric Vergne, 13th and 5th – Free practice went smoothly for us and even though the conditions were not optimal being too wet for dry tires and vice versa, we learned something. During FP2 the car performed very well on the flying lap, while there was a bit more to fight for in the long run. In general I am positive, everything seemed to be working properly."

“In the morning the track wasn't exactly in the best state, so the most was done in the afternoon – the feedback from Daniel Ricciardo, 9th and 16th – With JEV we divided the work and his solutions seemed more adequate, so we will work on it tonight. Of course, I'm not happy about finishing behind, but I'm not discouraged either because I know that tomorrow we will be able to place the cars very well on the grid."
