Marussia: Chilton: “The aim is to keep the Caterhams behind”

Discreet German Saturday for the Marussia, which confirmed itself in line with its usual bottom-of-the-table performances, but which on the positive side saw the return in almost perfect shape of White, yesterday suffering from stomach problems.

“Even though I wasn't 100% it was nice to get back on track this morning. I was thus able to get back into the rhythm, although we had to struggle a bit to find the right balance – the thought of Jules, 20th in both rounds – Tomorrow the key will be to pass Pic immediately and stay ahead of him."

“Obviously I was hoping for something more, but for some reason we had to fight in qualifying and we weren't able to get the most out of the car. In one way I'm encouraging because it all refers back to the race where we aim to be stronger – he said Max Chilton, 22nd – The objective will be to keep the Caterhams behind”.

“We did a race simulation with Jules to allow him to familiarize himself with the new rear tires and all in all it went well – explained boss John Booth – Max, on the other hand, lapped for a long time on the medium tyres in the morning, demonstrating that he has a good pace, while on the soft tires he suffered a bit. Overall it was a satisfying day, but now we're thinking about the race."
