Sunday: Frustration at Sauber after the Grand Prix
In the rhythm throughout the race, Sergio Pérez can curse his very poor qualifying that forced him to start at the back of the pack, on a circuit where overtaking can be counted on one hand. Kamui Kobayashi, for his part, was a victim of the collision between Schumacher and Grosjean and retired very early.
Sergio Pérez – 11th:
« We were very fast, but from my grid position, it was very difficult to overtake and move forward. After the penalty (editor’s note: a drive through), I tried to gain some positions, but the race was lost yesterday. We were waiting and hoping for the rain to come during the race. Nothing special happened, and the race was quite normal in the end. It’s a shame, but for the upcoming races, we can be better positioned on the grid and in the race thanks to our improved pace.
Kamui Kobayashi – Retirement:
« I got a great start and was fighting with Sebastian Vettel, so I might have been right behind him if I had made it to the finish. First, Romain Grosjean went to the inside, but suddenly he came back to the outside. I tried to avoid him, but he didn’t brake, hit my rear tire, and damaged my suspension. Maybe if I had two wheels and not four it would have been fine! It was too dangerous to continue.
