Waterhouse: “We have a competitive car and strong drivers”

Ben Waterhouse, deputy technical director of Scuderia Toro Rosso, says after the Saturday in Austin: “There’s not much we can say about today. We anticipated that the weather was going to play a part in today’s proceedings, and that turned out to be the case. At least we got some running in this morning, which was useful for both drivers, even though we had a few small issues on both cars. This led to slightly reduced running, but we were able to get it all fixed in time for qualifying. However, this session didn’t take place.”

Waterhouse continues about Jos Verstappen and Carlos Sainz Sr.: “The only thing which we benefitted from is that we managed to do a seat fit with two of our ‘reserve drivers’! Now we look forward to Sunday. With both qualifying and the race on the same day, it’s going to be particularly busy. Let’s see what the weather brings in the morning, we have a competitive car and strong drivers, so we hope for a strong qualifying performance and then to achieve good points during the afternoon's race.”
