Esteban Guti\u00e9rrez (No. 21) – 12th and 14th [22nd on the grid]<\/b><\/p>\n
While he was on a fast lap, the Mexican lost control of his Sauber and ended up in the barrier, finishing his qualifying disappointed: \u00ab We had a very good strategy. I think the conditions were quite difficult because the weather was really inconsistent. On my fast lap [in Q2], I was caught up by a faster car. I was trying to push as much as possible. Unfortunately, I lost the car and hit the barrier. We were both on a fast lap, and I was trying to finish mine as well as possible. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Adrian Sutil (No. 99) – 5th and 16th [14th on the grid]<\/b><\/p>\n
Like his teammate, the German finished his qualifying session with an off-track excursion, unable to defend his chances in Q2: \u00ab Unfortunately, I made a mistake today. Because when I went off the track, I didn’t pay attention to the fact that the corner was really wet. I lost the rear of the car and ended up stuck in the gravel trap. It’s a shame because I was in 9th and had managed to get into the second part of the session, but I couldn’t take part in it. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Adrian Sutil finished Q1 with an off-track excursion into the gravel trap while he was qualified for Q2. Esteban Guti\u00e9rrez experienced a similar end by hitting the barrier at the end of Q2 while on a fast lap. A missed opportunity to perform well for both Sauber drivers at Silverstone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":40263,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1749],"tags":[49,92,1464],"class_list":["post-15135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1","category-news","tag-alfa-romeo-racing","tag-bilan","tag-silverstone"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
