Saturday: Toro Rosso places Vergne and Kvyat in the top 10
The little sister of Red Bull made her mark in the winding streets of the Monaco Rock. Indeed, with its two drivers finishing seventh and ninth, the Italian team can aim to score good points in the race.
Jean-Eric Vergne (No. 25) – 9th and 7th
The native of Pontoise is very happy with this top 10 result, not only for himself but also for his team.
He shares his session: My last run with the super-soft tires was affected by the yellow flags but the first one was enough to secure seventh place, which is quite a good position to start the race tomorrow. If we put everything in place, I am confident that we can finish in the points with both cars. I will definitely push to at least maintain my seventh place until the checkered flag.
Daniil Kvyat (No. 26) – 10th and 9th
The young Russian, for whom this is the first Grand Prix in the Principality, experienced a particularly eventful qualifying session. He explains: « In Q1, I suddenly lost the rear and hit the wall, so I had to return to the pits to change the nose of the car. […] Unfortunately, Q3 was a bit unlucky because I couldn’t manage to do a clean lap after going out on used super-softs. When I went out for my last fast lap, I had to stop because of the yellow flag. »
Frustrated by this lack of success, he remains optimistic and will aim for points in the race.
