Hulkenberg: “Positive to go home with four points”

The hope was to enter Canada's top ten with great fanfare and instead it did Force India she succeeded but with solo Hulkenberg.

“I'm really happy to have earned four points in a race that wasn't very exciting given that I was alone most of the time – he said Nico, 8th – Regarding the episode with Vettel, perhaps I shouldn't have tried to defend my position so strenuously. I was on the inside, I braked on the dirt, he arrived and I continued to keep my foot down but then I lost the rear and turned around. Luckily I was able to continue. Overall it was a good weekend. We still lack a bit of speed, however we are growing."

“It was a complicated race – he confided Sergio Perez, 11th – I experienced a lot of understeer so it was impossible to fight with the competition except with Ricciardo. In the final stages I just tried to save fuel, tires and brakes."
