After struggling during the two Friday practice sessions the Toro Rosso team make big changes overnight to the set-up of the STR4 which paid off as both drivers turned in respectable qualifying performances last night in Singapore. The Red Bull-owned, Faenza, Italy-based team will now be hoping that they can carry that momentum forward and put a string of lacklustre results behind them in this evening's Singapore Grand Prix.

Swiss youngster Sebastien Buemi forced his way through to the Q2 session and eventually posted the fourteenth quickest time which puts him ahead of Jarno Trulli's Toyota and Adrian Sutil's Force India on the starting grid. It is his highest qualifying position for ten races, a run stretching back to the Chinese Grand Prix in April where he secured a spot on the fifth row. His 19-year-old team mate Jaime Alguersuari, who will be starting only his fifth grand prix later today, hauled himself off the back row where he has been rooted on four occasions, to qualify in seventeen place, and thus equal his best qualifying performance so far which came at last month's Belgian Grand Prix.

Sebastien Buemi (STR4-03): “I am quite happy, as the session went smoothly without any mistakes. I got the most I could out of the car and am pleased to have got ahead of Trulli. I’m glad to finally be back in Q2 as it’s been a long time. Now we need to work on a race strategy, make a good start and run the pit stops well.”
