Sauber, Perez: “Happy to have regained the momentum I had before the accident in Monaco”

Race with mixed fortunes in the Sauber team. In the British Grand Prix Sergio Perez crossed the finish line in seventh position while his teammate, Kamui Kobayashi, was forced to retire.

Sergio Perez – 7th: “I think it was a good race and a great result for the team. At the beginning the conditions were very difficult, but we managed to stay out of trouble. The strategy was good and my pit stops were perfect. Unfortunately I couldn't overtake Nico (Rosberg). I was very close, but he was too fast on the straight. Overall I am happy and the difficult times are behind me now. After the accident it took me time to get back into shape and find the momentum I had before. In two weeks I will be even stronger.”

Kamui Kobayashi – retired: “It's a real shame because our performance was good this weekend. In today's race I was very unlucky and I think there isn't much for me to say about the accident with Michael (Schumacher). We weren't side by side, and he obviously hit the back of my car. From then on I had to drive in a damaged car. Then I had bad luck with the pit stop, was given a stop and go penalty, and finally had to park because I was told on the radio that there was an oil leak and I had to exit the track . “
