– In qualifying we showed good speed. It adjusts to the optimistic mood and gives us a good chance.
we use them or not, will race. But we will do our best.

– You really want to provoke you dream of a podium. After qualifying, he seems so close.
– I have one answer to this question, and it will not change, in any form or ask him. You can dream about anything. But it is important at the same time do something to make these dreams were realized.
In qualifying we have shown the best possible result and can be satisfied. When I found out that showed the fifth time, especially since it happened on the home track, was very pleasant. I can promise that we will fight to the last and try to use all its features.
– Do you think that the fifth place in qualifying – this is the maximum for “Toro Rosso” reality?
– for the moment – yes.
– The best result of the season at home track – sounds like a perfect scenario, is not it?

It’s a new circuit. I think in a few years it will become more like the classic route, such as in Barcelona. On the other hand, we were ready for such a feature of the new track in Sochi.
– Arrivals junior series showed that during the race is very little overtaking. You are concerned about?
– I do not know. To be honest, I do not care. The main task – to-morrow we finished as high as possible.

– When you come to a new track, it is difficult to make predictions. Therefore, on the one hand, this is a surprise. Although on Friday in the first free practice we as you correctly noticed, also looked very good.
– After the announcement of your transition to the “Red Bull” in the future, rates rose for you?
– Is that in the sense that so many questions about it. For the rest, almost nothing has changed.
My approach to work has not changed. As I have said many times, it is an honor and a great opportunity – to act together with the “Red Bull».
