Red Bull's Kvyat scores a good time on Friday practice for the Malaysian GP

Daniil Kvyat (FP1: Position: 9, Best Time: 1:42.055, Laps: 18 / FP2: Position: 4, Best Time: 1:40.346, Laps: 17): “We had a few small issues at the end of the session, but nothing too big and it looks better for us here; we got some good laps today. We are looking to make some steps overnight and we will keep working. There is definitely potential and things are looking better compared to Melbourne, we just need to keep working hard. The time sheets look good, but it’s Friday, so you can’t read much into that and it’s more important to see what happens tomorrow and Sunday. We will keep fighting!”

Daniel Ricciardo (FP1: Position: 6, Best Time: 1:41.787, Laps: 15 / FP2: Position: 10, Best Time: 1:41.799, Laps: 8 laps): “Some things are definitely positive and the bulk of the driveability issues we had in Melbourne are a lot better now. The car was a lot nicer to drive. We got to do a few set up things this morning then we had a few issues this afternoon which limited our running. But there are some positives and we got some good feedback from Dany; he wasn’t too far off the pace of the Ferrari’s so that’s good and encouraging for tomorrow. We are finding improvements. If I see rain before qualifying tomorrow, I’ll probably have a little smile!”
