Daniil Kvyat will be looking forward to tomorrow's Grand Prix after a poor qualifying session means he will only line up in last place. The Russian explained that his car was undrivable, and there was some deeper issues hampering his pace.
Kvyat's teammate Carlos Sainz ended up in P13, perhaps inclining that it was indeed a car issue that prevented the former Red Bull driver from even progressing out of the first qualifying session.
"The car just wasn't driveable today," he reflected. "It was very hard to get my… to get the car around. Something was wrong with it I'm sure - 100 percent.
"Many things have to be changed. The wind didn't help but that's the same for everyone... it was just a very hard car to drive. You can't be that far off on a track you know quite well.
"I don't think it will be much better tomorrow, but we will try to see what we can learn from today. Maybe tomorrow it will [improve] because the Friday long pace didn't seem too bad. We need to try and pick up anything we can."
Sunday will mark the first time in the Russian's F1 career that he starts from the very back of the grid, although he has started from the pit-lane on a couple of occasions.
