Sunday: HRT, making progress, regrets the retirement of Karthikeyan
In progress, HRT still had to decide to stop Narain Karthikeyan's car, still plagued by problems with its floor, while Pedro de la Rosa secured the 18th position.
Pedro de la Rosa – 18th:
« Today’s race was quite good and we can say that we made a step forward, even if we still have a lot to do. The first stint was good, but we had a problem during the first stop that caused us to lose a lot of time. My times on the hard tires were very good towards the end and we were there. The car was behaving well and we were close to Pic and Petrov, which, for us, on a track like this, is fantastic. »
Narain Karthikeyan – Retirement:
I got a good start and passed Pic on the first lap. The car was running well, it had a good pace, and after the first pit stop, I was ahead of Pedro and having a good race. However, we had a problem with the car later on, and at the time of the second tire change, the team decided, as a precaution, that it was better to stop. Now, we need to focus on Korea and work to take another step forward.
