Toro Rosso ambushed in Barcelona

By monopolizing the third row of the Barcelona starting grid, Toro Rosso is in an ideal position ahead of tomorrow's Spanish Grand Prix to score valuable points. “It won't be easy to finish the race in the top five, but we are free to dream and we will do our best to finish the race as best as possible, says Carlos Sainz. I am also very happy to start from fifth position tomorrow here at home in Barcelona, ​​in front of my home crowd. »

If the Spaniard was delighted with his performance, the Dutch Max Verstappen was not entirely satisfied with his qualifications. « I struggled a bit with balance compared to this morning's practice session, but today's sixth place is still a positive result, confesses Jos Verstappen’s son. The most important thing is for us is to score points and this is what we are going to fight for tomorrow. The car has been great all weekend and, although it won't be easy, I will try to maintain my position in the race. »

The young Toro Rosso guard will indeed have to deal with the pressure of Ferrari by Kimi Räikkönen or Red Bull of Kvyat and Ricciardo.
