Q: Daniil, most of the teams today did a back-to-back test from the Monza weekend: what is Toro Rosso’s conclusion of the aero package for this race?

Daniil Kvyat: It is still rather difficult to say, as the Singapore track and the Monza track are too different to make any real comparison. The analysis is done and we are pretty confident after today but we will have to see what we in the end decide for this race.

Q: You knew before that Monza would be a difficult race for Toro Rosso. With what kind of outlook did you come here to Singapore?

DK: From what we’ve seen today the Singapore track suits us a lot better. We always know that when we are at tracks that have a lot of full-throttle areas we’ll lose a lot of time per lap. So here in Singapore these areas are a lot less and it is more about driving the corners. We know that our car is much more competitive in corners rather than on straights, so we will try to make use of that and make it work. Hopefully we will be able to bring something good home. I personally love street circuits and I have very good memories about this race. For sure you start at zero every year, but I try to do some good work with my engineers and I am sure that we will look okay. Hopefully. It would be very much appreciated.

Q: What are your feelings towards the ultrasoft tyres being used here?

DK: It has worked not too badly. We have collected a lot of data today. I think I was one of the drivers with the most laps in both sessions. It is still a new compound, although maybe not too different from the supersofts that we have already used in a couple of races. But nevertheless it is very important to know as much as possible to minimise the surprises for the race and qualifying.
