Sunday: At Red Bull, Webber laughing, Vettel crying
As it's time to pack their bags to return to England, Red Bull Racing's performance has been mixed. While Mark Webber climbed from 19th on the grid to 4th, thanks to an offbeat strategy that ensured fresher tires towards the end of the race, Sebastian Vettel was forced to retire while on course for victory, due to an alternator issue similar to the one encountered by Romain Grosjean.
Mark Webber – 4th:
« I’m very happy with the result, it’s obviously been a difficult weekend until today, but you never know what’s going to happen. In the middle of the race, I wasn’t very happy and I really didn’t know what was happening. We made everything work today and we gathered some good points. It’s been a crazy day – but I got points, so I’m happy about that. »
Sebastian Vettel – Retirement:
At the moment I am speaking to you, the problem is not yet clearly identified. I lost acceleration, the engine stalled, and there was nothing I could do, it was over. You can’t change that now. Until that moment, it was clear that we were strong, I was very happy with the car and I was maintaining a good pace. We were very fast today and it felt good. The rolling start after the safety car was good, but we are not sure of the exact problem, we will have to look into it more closely.
