Daniil Kvyat has played down his Mercedes-beating pace during wet Friday practice for the Japanese Grand Prix.
Kvyat set the fastest time in second practice, 0.023s clear of Nico Rosberg's best effort before further rain made the track even more treacherous. But the Red Bull driver said it was impossible to read anything into the times.
"Today means nothing, to be honest, so it was okay," he said. "It wouldn't be too bad if it was going to rain [on Saturday and Sunday], but I don't think it will be weather like this the whole weekend."
Asked about the conditions on Friday, Kvyat added: "Quite slippery, especially when there was more drizzle coming, there was always more and more aquaplaning tendencies and it was more tricky to keep the car on the track. It is quite a narrow track as well so there were a few corners and places where it was quite easy to make a mistake."
