Belgian GP: Qualifying notes - Red Bull

NEWS STORY
22/08/2015

Daniel Ricciardo: "It's pretty cool that everyone is so close and I am pretty happy with the lap. I don't think I left anything on the table and it's good to be in the mix. Grosjean has got a penalty so that will push me up to fifth and that's where I started from last year - not that I'm superstitious or anything, but you can always hope! Sector two is fun for us and we can push really hard there. We bleed some time in sectors one and three but the chassis feels good which is really positive for the team. Fingers crossed we have some good battles on our hands for the race tomorrow, the honey badger will try and find some honey in the forest here and go after it!"

Daniil Kvyat: "I did my best but I missed out on Q3 by one tenth and a half which is disappointing. We will make the most of our strategy, and the tyres we have available, for the race tomorrow. This track allows for overtaking and we will try to make up some places during the race. We'll do our best to make it work."

Christian Horner: "Daniel will start from P5 for the race because of Grosjean's penalty and his P6 qualifying is the best we could have hoped for. Dany was unlucky to miss the cut off for Q3 by just over one and a half tenths. The chassis is competitive, particularly in sector two, which is good. This is a track on which the drivers can certainly overtake and hopefully with some unpredictable weather, we can move forward from those grid positions tomorrow."

* Kvyat will start the race from P5 due to penalty for car number 8.
