Marussia, Chilton: “We are not where we would like”

Some reliability problems complicated the day Marussia that with Chilton It suffered an initial fire due to an oil leak from the gearbox which was promptly replaced.

“The initial failure made me lose almost the entire morning, but thanks to the guys who managed to fix everything early I was still able to complete five laps – he confided Max, 21st – In the afternoon the car changed, perhaps due to the heat, or perhaps due to the lack of grip, in any case despite the progress we are not where we should be, which is ahead of the Caterhams”.

“Today I struggled with the balance and this made it more complex to find a good set-up – the explanation of Jules Bianchi, 20th – There was an improvement in FP2 but not enough to put me ahead of Kobayashi. Now we will have to get something more out of the car to position ourselves well on the grid."
