Kobayashi: “Sorry for the team and for Massa”

Australian GP definitely to forget for Caterham out with Kobayashi a few meters from the start and with the rookie Ericsson after twenty-seven rounds.

“Obviously it's not what I would have wanted from my first race back, so I apologize to the whole team and to Massa for putting him out of the game – he stated Kamui – The start was never good but then a failure in the rear brakes prevented me from turning into turn 1 and therefore avoiding contact. It was a difficult weekend, but we collected a lot of useful data and appeared quite competitive."

“Despite not being able to see the finish line, I am proud of how we fought – the statement from Marcus – In the first laps I managed to pass Sutil and occupy twelfth place, then there was the pit stop which went very well but unfortunately an oil pressure problem forced me to retire. It's a shame because I'm sure I would have finished ahead of Marussia."
