Between the Lines at the Spanish Grand Prix

Motor Racing - Formula One World Championship - Spanish Grand Prix - Preparation Day - Barcelona, Spain

Daniil Kvyat

The Question: Daniil, coming to you. It’s been a tough start to your Red Bull Racing career, the car has let you down several times. Is that what’s prevented you from getting the most from yourself or is there more to it than that?

What Daniil said: 

It hasn’t been an easy one so far, like you said there have been a few weekends that were quite tricky, for many reasons. We just need to get it right and then we start looking deep into the things and hopefully it will happen very soon.

What he might have meant to say:

Yes. I can categorically, fundamentally, with absolute 100% conviction, state, for the record, that it’s not me it’s the car. The car is not good. I, on the other hand, am pretty great.

The Question: So what goals have you and the team set yourselves for recovery going forward?

What Daniil said: 

No real goals to be honest. We just try to take the best out of the package that we have, we try to extract everything and then we see where we are. No particular goals or anything like that.

What he might have meant to say:

Going forward, for any distance at all, would be good.
