Daniil Kvyat says he achieved the maximum result possible in qualifying as he qualified eighth.
Kvyat will face a ten-place grid penalty for an engine change.
In difficult conditions, Kvyat qualified within the top ten and out-qualified team-mate Daniel Ricciardo.
Kvyat admitted there is still a lot of work to do and he hopes to pick up a few points in Sunday’s race despite starting well down the field.
“We did all we could today with the tricky conditions we had. We got the most out of the car and the session that we could, which is positive. Starting from where we will be starting, it will be a difficult race for us, but if we can get a few points, that will be a good result for the team.
We still have a lot of work to do, because qualifying around seventh and eighth is not where we want to be.”
