Pierre Gasly: 6th<\/b><\/p>\n
At the checkered flag, the Frenchman can’t believe it. The performance was already unprecedented for Toro Rosso to have reached Q3 with both cars, but the driver with the number 10 grabs everything by beating the driver from the parent team, Max Verstappen. It’s safe to say that the rain played a crucial role because, in Q1, the Frenchman achieved a difficult 14th place.<\/p>\n
Upon setting foot on the ground, the Rouennais is more than happy \u00ab It’s incredible. I am very happy, especially for the team. \u00bb He also thinks about his team. This performance will remotivate the troops after several challenging Grand Prix races \u00ab It feels good for everyone. We managed to get both cars in Q3, it’s a great day. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\nYEESSS P6 in qualifying!!!!
So proud of @ToroRosso<\/a>, amazing job!!! What a crazy qualifying!!! \ud83d\ude05 pic.twitter.com\/B8ajfdii9u<\/a><\/p>\n\u2014 Pierre Gasly \ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7 (@PierreGASLY) 28 juillet 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Romain Grosjean: 10th<\/b><\/p>\n
Qualified without real difficulty in Q2 then Q3, the Franco-Swiss is not at all satisfied with his time in Q3. The reason being, he accuses Max Verstappen of having hindered two of his attempts. He still chooses to see the glass half full: “It’s the first time this weekend that we raced in the rain, there was quite a lot to learn, and I think we can take some positives from it.”<\/p>\n
Which does not prevent him from having a grudge against the Dutchman \u00ab I’m still disappointed at the end because [Max] Verstappen blocked my last two laps maliciously, so it wasn’t great \u00bb For this action, Verstappen and Grosjean were summoned by the race stewards to clarify things.<\/p>\n
Despite the procedure, the Frenchman is thinking about the race and the championship. We’ll take what comes. We already have a Renault behind us, which is positive, but there is also one in front. He allows himself the right to hope for better. It remains a difficult circuit for overtaking, but maybe with alternative strategies, we can try something.<\/p>\n
\nTough conditions out there in quali today but very happy with @HaasF1Team<\/a> getting the 2 cars into top 10 ! #r8g<\/a> #HungarianGP<\/a><\/p>\n

Esteban Ocon: 18th<\/b><\/p>\n
Bad luck struck at the worst possible moment for Esteban Ocon. Like Lewis Hamilton at Hockenheim, the Frenchman experienced a technical problem with his car in Q1, which is never pleasant. \u00ab It’s disappointing to be eliminated in Q1. We had an issue with the brakes that held us back. I went back to the pits when the track improved, and my brake pedal became loose. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Despite everything, he didn’t give up and tried to do his best. We tried to optimize the situation but of course, I couldn’t drive at 100%. We had a lot more up our sleeve. Especially since the conditions turned to their advantage. The weather was very uncertain and we could have taken advantage of the situation because usually, the car is good on a wet track.<\/p>\n
For tomorrow, points remain the target in the race \u00ab We can come back tomorrow and we will do everything to finish in the points. \u00bb<\/p>\n
