Toro Rosso, ten good reasons to fail

Toro Rosso would it get used to finishing qualifying sessions earlier than the other teams? This is what the Italian team seems to be saying, which is expressing all its self-deprecation after qualifying for the German Grand Prix. Toro Rosso thus presented the ten good reasons not to advance to Q3, the last phase of the qualifying session. Here, according to Franz Tost?s stable, are these ten reasons.

1- You can watch the exciting Q3 session, relaxed, while having a drink at the Energy Station (the structure Red Bull).
2- You don?t have to go to the boring Top 3 press conference.
3- You save your team a fortune in fuel and tires, while the Formula 1 seeks to reduce costs.
4- You do not have to look up towards the lights when the race starts, you just have to leave when the preceding cars move away.
5- Your mechanics and engineers have time to have lunch before the debriefing.
6- Your engine keeps a low temperature on the grid, so you don't have to wait for the cars to get behind you.
7- You don?t need a barrier behind your car.
8- You do not have to shake the Prime Minister's hand when you want to go to the toilet.
9- This is a very good excuse for not having a good race, since overtaking is impossible.
10- Mechanics can chat with your ??grid girl?? without their wives or girlfriends seeing them on TV.
