Alex Albon predicting a "Top 10" finish for Toro Rosso

Alex Albon looked fast during yesterday's qualifying session and will start the race in 9th place. The British-Thai racer was born in London so some view this as his home Grand Prix. The other Toro Rosso of Daniil Kvyat finished qualifying in 17th, making Albon's result even more impressive. However, he admits that his fastest lap was not perfect.

“There are always little micro mistakes," Albon said after the session. "The last corner wasn’t great – the last chicane. Everyone thinks they can do a bit better, and that’s the area where I think I lost some time. Maybe half a tenth. Not sure if that might have been enough [to get Norris],” he told the press.

Albon will hope that his qualifying pace converts to today's race and that he can finish in the points.
