Toro Rosso pair qualify well in Canada but say car lacked feel
Sunday 9 June 2013 19:48, UK
Toro Rosso enjoyed a rare day in the sun - metaphorically at least - during qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix on Saturday, but Jean-Eric Vergne and Daniel Ricciardo were not exactly thrilled with their performances.
With Sunday's forecast drier, albeit still with a chance of showers, it therefore came as little surprise to hear Ricciardo's preference for race conditions. "I'm either hoping for extreme wet or dry. This in-the-middle greasy stuff is not great. I would prefer one or the other - hopefully dry. I think we had good pace yesterday," the 23-year-old responded. In the dry, he thinks "we can definitely look to jump a few guys. I'll be looking forward tomorrow and not in my mirrors that's for sure". And if there's a rain shower? "Just do the best I can - drive hard. Hopefully it's a bit more so we can use the extreme. I like driving in the wet so there's no issue there. "It's probably that we've got our hands full in those greasy conditions." Asked what conditions he would prefer, Vergne simply shrugged. "I don't mind. It can be dry, it can be wet. I just want to make a good start and then we will see how the car performs."
