\u201cI think you\u2019re always a little disappointed when you start first and don\u2019t finish first, but overall it was a good weekend for us. We had a good day today with a pole and a podium \u2013 but in the race we were a little too aggressive with the tyres and lost the front and the rears, while others did a little better. There are always areas where you can improve, but the result we got today is fair. We didn\u2019t see Kimi on the track, he was too quick and Fernando jumped us at a vulnerable time \u2013 but we can be happy with third,\u201d said the champion.\n<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Vettel’s team-mate Mark Webber, who finished sixth, said, \u201cWe had a few issues on the grid, getting the telemetry from the car to the pits, which wasn\u2019t ideal in terms of the guys knowing where to set everything up for the start. We lost KERS also for the first part of the race. It looked like we were quite heavy on the first set of tyres and we weren\u2019t that quick to challenge for the win as a team today. We had a slow pit stop (which was due to a front jack failure), which put me behind Jenson. We salvaged something in the end, but that was Melbourne today and it was disappointing not to get more out of it. It was hard to fight against others on a two-stop.\u201d<\/p>\n
A bit diappointed, Team Principal Christian Horner, said : \u201cStarting from the front row, third and sixth obviously wasn\u2019t the result we were targeting, but all things considered with the way that the race panned out, I think it was the optimum we could achieve. Lotus seemed very light on its tyres, with Kimi being able to make a two-stop race really work for him. I think in the cooler conditions today we weren\u2019t in the optimum window with these tyres, but nonetheless it was a very positive start to the Championship with a podium finish and a sixth place. Mark made a good recovery after a difficult start and an ECU related KERS issue in the first part of the race. We managed to reset the system and his recovery was strong from then on. We leave this race knowing we\u2019ve got a good car and we\u2019re looking forward to warmer temperatures in Malaysia next week.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
