Another strong performance of Toro Rosso

The Scuderia Toro Rosso has kept the momentum from the last couple of races. Once again both young bulls, Sebastian Vettel and Sebastien Bourdais, were able to place their STR3 cars in the top ten on the grid.

Sebastian Vettel (STR3-03)
"A difficult day yesterday and also this morning. But before qualifying we made a few changes that helped us. We can be very happy with this result, I don't think I could have done better and it's better than we expected. Tomorrow in the race, I think it will be hard to catch the guys in front, so I will run my own race, do the best I can and if we can bring the car home, then we will see what we have achieved."
Third Practice Session: Best lap 1.36.902, pos. 14th, 18 laps
Qualifying Session: Best lap 1.37.685, pos. 8th

Sébastien Bourdais (STR3-04)
"I was very happy to make it through to Q3 but then the final part of the session was pretty tough as we had no option tyres left at the end. I am very happy with this result. I think we are looking good for the race as we have a sensible strategy."
Third Practice Session: Best lap 1.36.642, pos. 7th, 20 laps
Qualifying Session: Best lap 1.38.885 Pos. 10th

Giorgio Ascanelli: "Bourdais has done a solid performance all weekend, doing a very good job. But with Vettel we struggled through P1, P2 and P3 and then we tried something different on the car before qualifying as he was clearly unhappy and I am certainly pleased with the result those changes brought. It was impressive."
