Romain Grosjean \u2013 7th and 5th [4th on the grid]:<\/b><\/p>\n
Yesterday, we had two tough sessions, so having both cars in Q3 is a good turnaround. We knew it would be very tight in qualifying and I think we might have been one place higher with a cleaner first sector, but the leaders were too fast today. We are lacking a bit of downforce at the moment, but with a few minor adjustments tonight and the right strategy, I think we can come home with a good haul of points tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u00ab I spun out. I was on a good lap and pushing \u2013 maybe a bit too much \u2013 and lost the rear. It’s a shame because the car was the best it’s been all weekend. If the car is good tomorrow, we should be able to make progress. Let’s see how it goes. \u00bb<\/p>\n
