I am back, sorry for not being online recently, but I was at the Hungarian GP so I wasn't able to upload almost anything. I met Lucas sometimes, he was really friendly. :)
The things didn't go as well as everyone expected, Lucas had a fantastic start -as always?- but at least they finished the race.
Lucas said: “I had a very good first lap and I was running just behind Trulli and in front of Kovalainen. When the Safety Car came out we decided to pit. It was the perfect strategy move as it put me ahead of the new team cars, but unfortunately there was a problem with one of the wheels and I had to come in again on the next lap for another stop. This put me a lap down and my race was effectively over, so all I could do was push the car to the limit and in doing so I was able to secure the fastest lap of the new teams. This just underlines how far our car has progressed but I am disappointed that I wasn’t able to get more from the race today. Now we have the summer break and I’m heading home to Brazil to spend some time with my family and friends. I’d like to thank the team for all their hard work so far and I hope they have a good rest and we can all come back and take the fight to Lotus in the last seven races.”
Another not finished race for Lucas...unfortunately... His start was amazing and after the 1st lap was P16(from 24th), but because of the damage what the kerb caused he had to stay in the garage. Maybe in Hungary he will have more luck!
Lucas said: “I had a very positive start to the race today as I gained four places on the first lap and was running up behind Heikki for many laps. The car was behaving well, so I was confident we could beat Lotus on the track today and really push after the switch to the option tyre. I hit a bump on the kerb which damaged the suspension and so I lost the car. The damage meant that it was impossible to continue so what could have been a really great race ended early for me. However, we have shown the strength of the car here so I’m really looking forward to the Hungarian Grand Prix next weekend.”
Really bad Quali for Lucas, wasn't able to do any timed lap due to gearbox problems. But this is racing, everything could happen. Good luck tomorrow! You can do it! :)
Lucas : “It has been a very frustrating day for me and the team because we were looking so good in Free Practice and I think we could have done a really good job in Qualifying. But we had the alternator problem late in the session this morning and then it was clear on my Qualifying out-lap that there was a gearbox problem which could not be fixed in the time we had. We will do the best we can tomorrow in the hope that we can finish as the best of the new teams.”
