Daniil Kvyat (No. 26) – 10th<\/b><\/p>\n
After an average qualifying, the Russian driver was able to take advantage of opportunities in the race to secure the point for tenth place: “It was great today and I’m really happy with my performance.” His performance was built on a good start in which Daniil Kvyat gained several positions during the first lap. But the fight for tenth place was not easy: “Our pace was very strong and I enjoyed the battle with Jenson for most of the race.” Edd Straw, a journalist for *Autosport*, reported after the race that Kvyat even went to thank the 2009 World Champion for the battle he offered.<\/p>\n
The Toro Rosso driver emphasizes the good work of his team: \u201cWe did a good job with tire management, which allowed us to stay on the track longer.\u201d Despite a very good race, driver number 26 is eagerly awaiting the next race: \u201cI think there’s more to get out of the car, so I’m really looking forward to starting the European season, where I hope to score some points.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean-Eric Vergne (no. 25) \u2013 12th<\/b><\/p>\n
Despite a strong qualifying in ninth place, Jean-Eric Vergne lost this advantage on the first lap: \u00ab I had a bad start and a bad first lap. We need to understand why in order to improve this aspect. \u00bb Furthermore, the Frenchman was never able to get the most out of his soft tires: \u00ab I was stuck behind Button, so it was not possible to create a gap. \u00bb<\/p>\n
The Frenchman does not want to forget the positive aspects of the weekend: \u00ab We had a really good qualifying session yesterday, the overall pace wasn’t bad, and we know exactly which direction to go in to improve. \u00bb Just like his teammate, whom he congratulates on a good race, he looks forward to the next Grand Prix: \u00ab I am convinced that we can be stronger in a few weeks in Barcelona. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
