“After that it was about making the right call for the right conditions. It was a difficult day to go car racing and it just didn’t go our way today. The guys did a good job all week, and it’s a shame we couldn’t convert our good qualifying performance.”
Sébastien Bourdais:
“It was very tough at the start as I couldn’t see, because the water wasn’t clearing off my visor. It’s the first time I’ve encountered this problem. In the early stages I had a lot of understeer, which ruined the tyres.
“Putting the extreme wets on was a good call and the car was pretty quick, but it was too late to do very much and eleventh was the best I could do. We must continue to work hard, starting with the upcoming Hockenheim test, and try and do better at the next race.”
Timo Glock:
“That was really difficult for me today. I concentrated on looking after my tyres during the first stint, and everything was fine until the first stop. After that it was much harder. When the heavy rain came, I had no traction and the car was sliding around.
“There was massive aquaplaning, and I had no chance to hold the car on the track. That was a pity, but we will try for more at the next race. The guys in Cologne are working hard and the car is improving, so we will push again in Hockenheim.”
Felipe Massa:
“This
Silverstone weekend is one to be wiped out. On Friday I had an accident, yesterday there was the problem in qualifying and today a series of mistakes at all levels. We have to look ahead, because there is still a very long way to go in the championship, and once again we’ve seen that it only takes one result to turn the situation around.
