"I expected a bit more from today," said Hulkenberg. "But it seemed that our car was no so competitive in the cooler temperatures because I felt much happier during final practice in the sunny conditions. So maybe the lower temperatures caught us out. I have a free choice of tyres so hopefully we can use that to our advantage." Di Resta said that he had been struggling with the balance of his car. "It was always likely to be quite a tough qualifying session," he said. "Our long run pace hasn't looked too bad but I'm just struggling to get the ultimate performance from the car. We're still in a reasonable position to try and score points." Sergio Perez ended up 11th on the grid in the faster of the two Saubers. "My last lap was a good one and I think this is just about the maximum possible for us here. Q3 today wasn't within reach, although yesterday I hoped it would be." Kamui Kobayashi was back in 15th, half a 50
second off the pace of the Mexican. "I have been struggling with the balance of the car since we got here," he said. "We did a lot of changes and managed to improve it to a certain extent, but I still had problems with the front brakes locking. This was also the reason for the mistake on my final flying lap in Q2. I hit the brakes, the front wheels locked and that was it. I think in race conditions we should be better, but it won't be easy to improve. The circuit allows for overtaking, but you need to have the speed for it." Daniel Ricciardo was 16th on the grid in his Toro Rosso, with Jean-Eric Vergne alongside him, as has been the vogue for much of the year. "It's been a harder weekend for us than we had expected," the Australian said. "We definitely made progress today, compared to where we were on Friday, which is positive, but in the end it was not enough to move us higher up the grid. Everything went smoothly on my side of the garage, apart from losing a lap on the Prime, when 51
