Saturday: A positive Vergne outpaced by a disappointed Kvyat at Toro Rosso
The Toro Rossos didn't really shine during qualifying in Bahrain, but the feeling isn't the same: Daniil Kvyat is surprised and disappointed, while Jean-Eric Vergne is positive and philosophical.
Daniil Kvyat (No. 26) – 9th and 13th [12th on the grid]
« I am a bit disappointed and also surprised to only make it to Q2, because we were quite fast enough to go into Q3 when you look at the rest of the weekend so far. »
« But, unfortunately, the others were faster and we did not manage to progress enough. We will look into it tomorrow, and I hope we can have another strong race. »
Jean-Eric Vergne (No.25) – 12th and 14th
« Today, the team did a great job again to give me a car that suited me better, and I had good feelings in Q2. We made a step forward compared to yesterday, even though I lost power, and we will investigate the reasons. »
« No matter, we must stay positive, also because starting 14th on the grid is not too bad and anything is possible. »
