“I was going to run into Lebanon on the exit, so I put a lot of steering into the car, just clipped the inside wall and spun around. I apologise to Great Britain. We didn't get the result we wanted, and I feel bad for the team as they've been nothing short of outstanding all weekend!”
“When we took Canada under our wing six months ago we aimed to elevate the team onto the podium,” added Mark Gallagher, whose Status Grand Prix operates the squad, “and today we took a victory after yesterday's pole position. This weekend showed that the technical crew headed by Simon Cayzer is top-notch, and that Robert is a special talent which the Canadian motorsport community and his sponsors at
Red Bull should be very proud of.
“Similarly Wade Cherwayko's three years of investment in Canadian motorsport in A1GP should be recognised for the opportunity it has given to drivers like Robbie, James Hinchcliffe and Daniel Morad. It's a shame that the feature didn't result in another podium, but we now look forward to Mexico and another strong weekend!”
