This post was written by admin


After having a very good start to the weekend here in Bahrain, with being fastest in two of three practice sessions. It was a very disappointed Nico that had to settle for 5th on the grid for tomorrow`s race:

Q: Nico, after the last race are you disappointed with 5th on the grid?

Nico: Infact I am very disappointed, but that is also good to be that when you are starting 5th . In the end I was not just quick enough. But I have saved a set of options for tomorrow, and that was our strategy. We made a compromise between Qualifying and race with our set up, and that will definetly help us in the race tomorrow which I expect good things.

Q: Where did you lack pace today?

Nico: As I said with the strategy it was just a compromise, and with the new set it should help us big time for tomorrow.
Q: And with Michael`s problem, did you hope even more that your car would be fine?

Nico: No, I did not even know that Michael had a problem, so I did not know anything about it.
