Just like most of the races which preceded Daniil Kvyat would rather just forget his pointless Hungarian Grand Prix weekend.
The Russian has endured a difficult time since being demoted from Red Bull to Toro Rosso following Sotchi, with just a single point - scored at Silverstone - appearing on his tally.
Hungary was more of the same for Kvyat, with various issues throwing a spanner into the Toro Rosso works from start to finish.
"Unfortunately, I have to say this was one of the least enjoyable races I’ve experienced for quite a while," Kvyat explained who had qualified 12th.
"We had a very poor start – I had too much wheel spin and there was something wrong with the settings – and that sadly defined the rest of our race.
"The run to Turn 1 was very poor and I lost a lot of position there. We then went towards the back of the grid and from then on it was very hard to recover and move forward."
The contrast in performance between Kvyat and his outperforming team mate Carlos Sainz is striking. A difference which the Russian has put down to the time required for everyone on his side of the garage to gel and define the right approach.
"We just started to work really, the new engineer is very young and needs a bit of time. But unfortunately we did some mistakes. We learn from them but we also learn in a tough way.
"I have to be constructive and help everyone in any way I can. What we have now is not working and we need to change our approach."
The Russian remains philosophic however over his state of affairs, biding his time until the winds change direction.
"In motorsport you have good days and bad days and this has been one of those negative ones. Luckily the next race is next week, so we can forget about this one quickly and hope for a better one in Germany."
