Daniil Kvyat managed to get into Q3 after a blisteringly fast lap in Q2 which the Russian has described as being "one of the best" he has ever driven. The Toro Rosso driver will start the race in 9th and will be looking to get some solid points at the end of the race. In his return to F1 Kvyat has looked more experienced and will hope that he has done enough to retain his seat for seasons to come. 

“I think it was a brilliant lap,Kvyat told media quoted by RaceFans after qualifying. “One of the best, actually I’ve ever had.

“For sure it’s satisfying. When I closed the lap I knew it was enough for Q3. We extracted everything today out of our performance. We earned ourselves a good starting position for tomorrow so we will try to do our best to do a good race.”

“In Q3 the track temperature kept getting fast and slower and the wind was swinging around a lot,” he said. “I was still happy with my lap but I think Q2 lap I would highlight that more.

“But all qualifying I made good decisions. The car after FP3 was a little bit not where I wanted to be but we managed to pull it back together for quali. We did a very good job with my engineers to understand what I need and what we need in order to go quicker.”

Toro Rosso will hope they can get both cars in the points as they look to establish themselves as a midfield competitor.
