Full of hope before the start, Nico H\u00fclkenberg lost all illusions at the first corner after a failed takeoff. Then the German’s race was nothing but a long ordeal until he retired a few laps before the finish to preserve his machine.<\/p>\n
I am quite disappointed and even disgusted to be honest. H\u00fclkenberg admitted after the race before continuing: It was a really tough race and nothing worked. The start wasn’t great and I lost a few positions on the first lap. The first stint was complicated because the car was sliding a lot and the tires had graining. And it became the story of my race because the car’s balance was bad and didn’t allow me to get the best out of the tires. At the end of the race, I felt vibrations and the team decided to stop me because they detected a problem with the rear brakes.<\/p>\n
The brakes also forced Sergio P\u00e9rez to retire on the last lap while he was in the points: \u00ab In the last lap, I went off at turn no. 3, I had no brakes left and went straight on. \u00bb<\/p>\n
A retirement that deprives Force India and Sergio P\u00e9rez of some precious points in a relatively disappointing weekend: \u00ab It’s annoying because the team really did what was needed and we were unlucky to be stopped like that in our comeback \u00bb, concluded P\u00e9rez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Qualifying on the front row, Nico H\u00fclkenberg was quickly disillusioned in the race before retiring a few laps later, when his team-mate Sergio P\u00e9rez ran off the track violently due to braking problems.
