Here you can see the images of Ricciardo and Kvyat's onboard cameras in Baku.
Ricciardo could never make the turn. What was he thinking/doing ?!
He only gets 3 places grid penalty for this in Barcelona.

"At the minute we’re not getting the results we deserve," said the British-Thai racer.

"We've qualified well, and Daniil proved in Azerbaijan the car is quick, and we have been quick in other races.

"Our issue is just having always one thing or another not going our way.

"I think that, points wise, compared to pace wise, we don’t have the points that our pace shows," he added.

"There’s definitively missed opportunities there, because the points don’t look great. But we can fight back.

"We’ll see in Barcelona. We have the data from winter testing, we know the car is quick and we’ll be strong."

This has been the general story with Toro Rosso over the years. As a junior team they have always got their talent taken away from them once there became a position available at Red Bull Racing. It is obviously the purpose of Toro Rosso, but I for one hope that Gasly comes good at Red Bull and Verstappen extents his contract so that Toro Rosso's driver pair can settle and mature. It would benefit the team greatly to have less abrumption year to year and less rookie mistakes which always results in the lack of maximizing the cars potential.

Note: this isn't aimed at Kvyat in Azerbaijan, he wasn't to blame for what happened.

Another strong FP2. Long runs pace dare i say is as good as RedBull. Last three races or so they seem strong on race pace on FP2 but come Sunday they go backwards. Hoping the new engine can help them qualify higher and get decent points.

Kvyat had the update on FP1 dunno if Albon got it on FP2 but a decent showing from him again

Good job by Kvyat again. STRs upgrades look good, Albon will have a strong race with tyre choice.
If it's a clean race and no strategy blunders double points should be possible.

Agreed, Albon would of been in Q3 as well if he didn't have a mistake on his lap. STR's are looking fast!

Indeed, I'm expecting best of the rest and clawing back some championship places in the midfield.

Kvyat and Albon both have a chip on the shoulder right now with a point to prove. Elbows out and go get em.
