Daniil Kvyat relieved to be back in the points at Silverstone
Daniil Kvyat was relieved to be back in the points at Silverstone after failing to score in the previous four races.
The Russian finished 10th, behind Toro Rosso teammate Carlos Sainz and Sebastian Vettel. It was only the second point he has scored since rejoining STR, having earned the same result in Spain.
"We fought our way back to the points," he said. "I think we deserved a bit more this weekend, especially my side of the garage. I felt on Friday we had really good pace on our long run. Today we just stuck on the medium on the car after the intermediate start and then we just went until the end with no major issues."
"Our pace was comparable I think with Sebastian's pace, and I think if our pace is comparable with Ferrari's at this track I think it wasn't too bad a race. Many things to analyze, but so far it didn't feel bad."
Meanwhile Kyvat admitted that it was probably right for the safety car to stay out for five laps: "Mixed feelings. One part of the track was quite OK, almost fine, but there were a couple of corners where standing water was massive."
