DRS and fuel problems for Marussia

The focus on finding the best set-up carried out in FP3 did not pay off and for the Marussia the Monza qualifications meant the last two positions on the grid also due to some technical problems such as the one suffered by DRS Jules Bianchi, 21th.

“Unfortunately we weren't able to find the right balance and I had to fight a lot – he reported at the end of the tests – I'm especially sorry because this circuit is special for me and I want to do well, so I hope tomorrow to have the chance to make up for it counting also on a race pace that seems better than that of the flying lap.”.

“After yesterday's positive start, I am a little disappointed with this performance, mainly due to an error of 19,5 kg regarding petrol - the statement from Max Chilton, 22nd – For the race I want to be confident and even though it will be hard to make up ground given where I'm starting from, I will still try to give my best."
