Horner on Daniel: “Within his third or fourth lap he was down to a time within a second of what our drivers were achieving. (www.formula1.com)

In his first proper run on tires that were comparable, […] on what was probably his seventh lap of the day, would’ve put him on the front row of the grid.”

Don't forget that the track was already rubbered in from the Grand Prix week-end, so it might not have been fully representative of Daniel's true pace.

I don't expect to see peak DR but there's no reason to put him out there if they expect him to finish a lap down on Sundays. They could have stuck with Devries or one of their academy drivers if they didn't see something in Riccardo's ability.
