Lotus, Maldonado: “It's good to have both reached the finish line”

It didn't end in points, unlikely given the current form, but at least the Lotus she reached the finish line with both cars.

“The positive thing is that we didn't have any problems – he commented Romain Grosjean, 12th – The race was complicated and I was constantly oscillating between good starting point and lack of rear grip. Luckily there are now two days of testing which will allow us to try different set-ups and therefore get more out of the car."

“As expected, the race pace proved to be better than that of qualifying – the consideration of Pastor Maldonado, 14th – With the team I had decided on a two-stop strategy and everything was going well until the accident. I still have to figure out what happened. Maybe Gutierrez made the wrong braking point. I had just returned from the pit and my tires were cold, at that point I found myself in a corner and without space. It was unfortunate, but at least he managed to get out of the car straight away and that's what's important. As a team we must be happy that we both saw the checkered flag."
