2013 Australia GP: Toro Rosso Formula One F1 Qualifying Recap
Jean-Eric Vergne (STR8-03) Qualifying Best lap: (Q2) 1:38.778, pos. 13th "Qualifying was going quite well on my first run. However, when I came into the pits after the long first run on Intermediates, I was expecting to fit the same type of tyres again. But the team opted to put me on slicks: I believed they had a better picture of the situation than I did, but it turned out to be the wrong choice and cost me a chance to get into Q3, which is a shame. All the same, thirteenth isn’t bad and I’ll be aiming for points this afternoon."
Daniel Ricciardo (STR8-01) Qualifying Best lap: (Q2) 1:39.042, pos. 14th "The beginning of the session, when the track was at its dampest, went quite well, but within a couple of laps I was already experiencing problems with the rear of the car and I sensed it would get more difficult as the track dried. I feel we didn’t have the set-up quite right and we need to look into that now. It’s always tricky in mixed conditions. We were aiming for Q3, but from fourteenth on the grid, there’s still a chance of having a good race in a few hours from now."
