Another difficult afternoon for Toro Rosso
The Scuderia Toro Rosso struggled again during the European Grand Prix qualifying session at the Valencia street circuit. Sebastien Buemi got into Q2 and will start tomorrow's race from 15th position as team mate Jaime Alguersuari will start from 19th.
Sebastien Buemi, 15th: "Even though I got into Q2, I'm a bit disappointed, because in Q1 I was sixth with a good lap time and then in Q2, we did not manage the tyre situation well, especially on my "out" lap and I ended up doing worse than in Q1. Now we must look at what happened, because I think I might even have had the possibility to get into Q3. We are making progress."
Jaime Alguersuari, 19th: "I know what I am capable of and with this being only my second F1 qualifying session, I have to be patient. I am happy that even though this track is longer than at my first race in Hungary, the gap to the drivers ahead of me is getting smaller. I am feeling more confident in the car every time I drive it. It's going to be tough tomorrow as it seems to be getting hotter and hotter. I think I can do a good job in the race, bring the car home and hopefully end up at least in the top fifteen."
Giorgio Ascanelli: "Not much to say: we got one car through to Q2 and both cars have run reliably over the past two days."
