GP Korea, Sauber: eighth Kobayashi and ninth place for Heidfeld

Two placings in the points for the Sauber drivers in the Korean Grand Prix.

Kamui Kobayashi – Pos 8:
“It was obviously a strange race, with the delay and starting behind the safety car. But for me it was right to do it this way, in fact at the beginning I couldn't see anything behind the safety car. Poor visibility and a lack of grip were my problems today. When we changed the intermediate tyres, when the safety car came out again after 19 laps it was very difficult to drive. When Adrian Sutil attacked me I stayed inside and didn't change my line. I saw him in the mirror and had the impression that he wouldn't be able to brake or something like that. We touched but luckily my car didn't suffer serious damage and I was able to continue. In the final laps I found the visibility very, very poor again. This time it was not because of the rain but because of the darkness.”

Nick Heidfeld – Pos 9:
“I'm happy to be in the points again. It wasn't easy today to keep track of what was happening in the race. I think it was the right decision to postpone the start, before then visibility was zero. We changed to intermediates quite early. In hindsight it was actually too early as it wasn't easy to stay on the track, even if we managed it, and then the conditions improved. After a lot of laps, and on a drying track, the tires were finally gone, but I think others had the same problem. I couldn't defend my position against Adrian (Sutil) because, with the mirrors being so dirty, I couldn't see him. I knew from the radio that he was there, but I only saw him when he was next to me."
