Daniel Ricciardo – 15th and 10th [9th on the grid]:<\/b><\/p>\n
I think that reaching Q3 was already a great success, after the difficulties encountered with the car to make it how I like it on Friday and even during the last practice session today. My lap in Q2 was very good, but not the best, so I went into Q3 thinking I could improve in several areas. We decided to make a slight adjustment to the tire pressure, which turned out not to be the right decision, as I had to work even harder to get the tires up to temperature. The lap itself wasn’t too bad, but the time never came. The heat? It’s only a problem when you get out of the car because inside the cockpit you have air, so it’s fine.<\/p>\n
Jean-Eric Vergne – 10th and 14th [13th on the grid]:<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00ab Everything went well in Q1 and also in Q2, I managed to improve my time even with worn tires and I was heading for a very good time on my last attempt, but I locked the wheels at turn 8 and it canceled out the advantage I had. It’s really a shame because everyone worked so hard yesterday and last night to give me a good car, I was really happy from the start of free practice 3. I have to raise my hand and say I made a mistake. I wanted too much and pushed too hard. The positive point of the day is that I have been on pace all weekend and we are fast here. So, with a good strategy, I’m looking forward to the race, where I’m convinced we can make up for tonight’s disappointment. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Toro Rosso hoped to see its two drivers in Q3, and while Daniel Ricciardo managed to do so, it was not the case for Jean-Eric Vergne due to a mistake in his fast lap in Q2. However, the Frenchman remains optimistic for the race and hopes to fight for points, just like his Australian teammate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":40637,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1749],"tags":[92,1595,1726],"class_list":["post-16504","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1","category-news","tag-bilan","tag-toro-rosso","tag-yas-marina-island"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
