Happy with the team’s performance, Adrian Sutil said, \u201cWhat a fantastic race and a great feeling. I started on the medium tyres, a different strategy to most of the cars ahead of me, and I think this was the right decision. The pace was quick and the car felt very good on the medium tyres so I was able to keep up with the guys in front of me, who I knew were going to pit early. It was not long until I was leading the race \u2013 my first time leading in Formula One. After my second pit stop I was back in the lead once again, so I knew that it was possible to come away with a great result.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cMy final stint on the super-softs was much more difficult because the tyres started graining and I lost a few places. I was thinking I might need to pit again, but fortunately the tyres came back to me for the final few laps so I could save the seventh place. This result for the team is a perfect way to start the season and I want to say a big \u2018thank you\u2019 to the team once again,\u201d Sutil added.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Paul Di Resta said that seventh and eighth for the team was a great result and a great way to kick off the season. \u201cWe\u2019ve shown we have a car that is kind on its tyres and that helped us today by making less stops than some of our rivals. I feel I had a car that could have finished seventh, but I was stuck behind some of the three-stoppers at the start of my second stint, and that cost me quite a lot of track position. There are a lot of positives to take from the race, as well as some things that we can improve to make the car stronger, but we\u2019re in a good position heading to Malaysia.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
