Hulkenberg: “Seventh thanks to the news on my Force India”

Backed by one VJM08 the couple strengthened by numerous updates Force India gave rise to a good English GP which ended with a double points finish.

“It was a fun afternoon – he declared Nico Hulkenberg – I made perhaps the best start of my career and immediately found myself in fifth place. I kept the Ferraris behind for the entire first stint, but having another pace they overtook me thanks to strategy. When it started raining I got the timing of the return trip wrong, so I stayed on the slicks longer than I should have. Overall I am very satisfied. Today's performance is largely due to the innovations brought."

“After the first stop I lost to Sainz and I had to squeeze fresh tires to get back under him. At that point the "dirty" air and the graining on the fronts slowed me down, furthermore I decided to fit the intermediates with a bit of delay - analysis by Sergio Perez, 9th – Too bad, because the potential to do better was there. However, progress gives morale."
