Sebastien Buemi had plenty of work to do when he finally stepped into his Toro Rosso machine at Interlagos on Friday, having given up his car to Red Bull-backed Jean-Eric Vergne for the opening practice session of the weekend. Ending up 11th fastest overall, Switzerland’s Buemi labelled his day as an overall success.
"I had to get everything done in the 90 minutes of the afternoon session and the team did a good job, giving me a car that was reliable and ran trouble free," said Buemi. "This meant I was able to do a lot of laps, trying the prototype tyres, then the Medium and the Soft, completing a useful long run, so I am happy with my day.
"It is too early to talk about performance but generally, we are in the same group that we have been in for the past few races. As it is a very short track here, it is very important to get everything right, because a difference of one tenth of a second can have a big effect on your position on the grid."
