Alex Albon believes Toro Rosso is better than what the results suggest after four Formula 1 races in 2019. He suggests the team has the potential to finish higher than 9th.
The Toro Rosso duo has been strong in practice and qualifying, but seem to lack something on Sundays. Daniil Kvyat qualified in 6th for the race in Baku.
The team have also been unlucky on numerous occasions this season. Daniel Ricciardo reversed into Kvyat last time out. Kvyat collided with the two McLaren drivers in China, which eventually ended his race. You'd expect frustrations are starting to grow.
"I think at the minute we're just not really getting results we deserve. We've been qualifying good. Daniil proved it, that the car is quick in qualifying. And it has been quick previous to that in the other races," Albon told Autosport.
"Our issue really has just been always having one thing or another - so things not going our way. We don't have the points that our pace shows. There are definitely missed opportunities because I think the points [situation] doesn't look great. But I am sure we can fight back. I know the car is quick."
