The fact that he ended up with the eighth-fastest time in the race, that's the sort of data he'll be looking at."Clark says Toro Rosso are probably over Daniil Kvyat  who has picked up just five points through 15 races this year.LISTEN ABOVE AS MIKE CLARK SPEAKS WITH DANIEL MCHARDY ON THE RADIO SPORT BREAKFASTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
