HRT, De la Rosa: “The best race to debut the HRT”

Peter of the Rose, 22nd: “I had a lot of fun in today's race. It was the best race to debut the HRT. I don't think anyone could have imagined HRT at the finish line, after a problem with the fuel pressure that we had with us since yesterday. I was penalized with drive-through and we completed our first real pit stop. Many things happened, but the car held up well, if we consider where we started from. We need to improve many things, but this was a great test. My teammate finished too, which is doubly satisfying. I'm very happy for the team, we achieved what we wanted. Now, we need to go a little further."

Narain karthikeyan, 21st: “It was an interesting race in wet conditions. We were tenth at one point, the best position we had ever achieved, but unfortunately then the rain stopped and the track dried up and it was impossible to keep everyone behind. I made a mistake, braking to a lock and went out at Turn 9, but other than that, everything was fine. I finished the race, I did a few kilometers and I recovered two positions from 23rd place, it's something to smile about. Everyone did a great job and we are very happy with the result, now we have to move forward and try to progress in China."
