Sunday: Vergne brings two new points to Toro Rosso
For a long time in the points, Daniil Kvyat eventually finished outside the top 10. Jean-Eric Vergne, who started at the back of the grid, managed to finish in the points after an impressive comeback.
Jean-Eric Vergne (No. 25) – 9th
The Frenchman was satisfied with his race before he was informed of Bianchi’s accident: « I was happy with my race until I was informed of Jules’ accident. Getting good news from him is all that matters right now. As for me, starting from the back of the grid and finishing in the points at the end is a great achievement. Today, with such conditions, it was really difficult not to make mistakes while driving as fast as possible, trying to be quick, but I think the team and I did a good job. »
Daniil Kvyat (#26) – 11th
The Russian also has a thought for the Marussia driver and reflects on his race: « The most important thing tonight is that I hope Bianchi will be okay. It was a complicated race today with the rain. The overall performance of the car was good, but unfortunately our strategy didn’t really work and with the safety car and the red flag at the end, my chances of finishing in the points evaporated. »
