Caterham, Kobayashi: “The change in strategy didn't work”

Austrian GP without major twists that of Caterham who however missed an opportunity to keep Marussia behind.

“My start wasn't the best but in a short time I managed to pass my teammate and Bianchi – he stated Kamui Kobayashi, 16th - In theory I should have made two stops but instead, given the strategy of our opponents, we switched to one. Unfortunately at the end the softs with 55 laps behind them were useless and so I wasn't able to reach Jules who still had the supersofts fresh. However, we are getting closer."

“I am quite satisfied given that we have progressively closed the gap on our direct rivals – the words of Marcus Ericsson, 18th – The start was excellent and the first stint went well even if I had to check so as not to destroy the tyres. Unfortunately at the second stop I lost four seconds because there was a Ferrari coming out and I rejoined with a big disadvantage over Chilton. At that point, after recovering a bit, the blue flags started waving at me. Considering where I was in the first free practice, it's an ok result."
