Toro Rosso, Vergne: “Finishing the race in ten is possible”

Positive news is coming from the planet Toro Rosso in Spain. Both just outside the strongest group, but they could get an excellent result tomorrow.

“I'm satisfied with how we went in the afternoon – he stated Daniel Ricciardo, 11th – I think I got everything I could out of my STR8. This morning we had a lot of balance difficulties, so we had to run and in the end everything went well. I'm only sorry that I missed out on Q3 for a very short time, but this still bodes well for the race. We have made progress and aim to be as competitive as in China."

“We start the European season with a significantly stronger car, so tomorrow anything is possible – the words of Jean-Eric Vergne, 12th – Also positive is the fact that the set-up we have chosen should benefit us even more in the race. The team did an incredible job, there is still a lot to do in qualifying to try to get into the last phase, but for now everything is ok and tomorrow getting into the top ten seems quite feasible."

“Given the many changes made, we didn't know how the car would respond, but already yesterday we received good signals – said the director James key – In the afternoon there were ups and downs, if on the one hand it was our best qualifying of the year, on the other we were missing something to make the leap into the top 10. In our favor the possibility of choosing the tires and the extra set of mediums that we kept."
